Raise a Glass: THE OZEN COLLECTION returns with Guy Charbaut Champagne Masterclass & Gastronomy

20 August, 2022

Xavier and Nathalie Charbaut present a sparkling soirée and an exclusive dinner showcasing Guy Charbaut House Champagnes, at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and OZEN LIFE MAADHOO from 24 to 30 October 2022.

Champagne is the epitome of enchanting indulgence. Likened to a taste of stars, the sought-after beverage is much more than the toast of celebrations. The age-old culture of indulgence reflects rich wine traditions and is a way of life in itself.

It is time to bask in a golden sunset, bubbly in hand, and delicious nibbles within reach while immersing in the world of champagne once again.

THE OZEN COLLECTION brings France’s most elegant drink to the balmy Maldivian shores for a one-of-a-kind Champagne Masterclass. With just one sip, guests will find themselves transported to a heritage Guy Charbaut vineyard in the heart of Mareuil-sur-Ay, one of France’s finest wine growing regions.

Rooted In Heritage, Brought Together By Passion

A penchant for crafting authentic experiences brings together the two inspiring brands. Just as THE OZEN COLLECTION tailors unique retreats with a heartfelt cultural connection, Guy Charbaut is renowned for its varietal champagne produced using traditional methods for a true expression of the environment and natural conditions of the vineyard.

Champagne Conversations With Xavier and Nathalie Charbaut

Gracing the privileged event will be Xavier and Nathalie Charbaut. The multi-generational artisanal wine growers and owners of Guy Charbaut Champagne House will be staying at the two resorts and presenting five of their finest champagnes.

With their own vineyards, consisting of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay varieties, the Charbauts take pride in producing wine made through méthode champenoise, or the traditional method. This focus on quality results in elegant and distinctive wines – with a strong connection to the land.

Guests will explore the nuances of each bottle with tasting and food pairing experiences. Wine culture will come alive through hearty conversations and fascinating insider knowhow. The delightful soiree will be followed by an exclusive degustation dinner.

Masterclass at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI and OZEN LIFE MAADHOO

The sparkling wine extravaganzas will unfold from 24 to 30 October 2022, as a part of the RESERVETM Plan at Bolifushi island and INDULGENCETM Plan at Maadhoo island. With three champagne nights at each resort, wine lovers have a lot to get excited about.

At OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI, the sophisticated masterclass will be held at Cuvée followed by a lavish dinner at the overwater speciality restaurant, ORIGINE. An exclusive menu will be designed to accompany the aromatic range of Guy Charbaut Champagnes.

The other resort within the brand, OZEN LIFE MAADHOO, will also host the masterclass at the speciality Gin Is In bar. Guests can enjoy a more lively and engaging dinner, with Mediterranean style cuisine served under the stars at the soon-to-open Joie de Vivre Beach Club.
