Beau Joie Special Cuvee Brut Champagne
Beau Joie Special Cuvee Brut Champagne is a 750mL non-vintage Champagne from Epernay, France, presented in the house's signature casing of recycled copper. It is a dry Brut in a low-dosage style, so the fruit and the wine's natural acidity lead rather than added sweetness. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Champagne in the Copper Armour
Beau Joie's bottle is encased in a lattice of recycled copper — part signature look, part function, since the metal helps the bottle hold its chill once it leaves the ice. Inside is a classic Epernay Brut built on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the house's dry style, with the floral, yeasty depth that bottle ageing in Champagne cellars brings. Compare it with the rest of our sparkling wine and Champagne range, browse the wider wine shelf, or see the house on the Champagne Beau Joie vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Floral and yeast aromas in the producer's note for this cuvee. Palate: Crisp citrus and apple fruit with firm structure, the fruit and acidity in balance so the wine tastes fresh rather than severe. Finish: Clean and dry.
How to Enjoy
Serve it cold from its copper casing as a toast or aperitif; the dry style also pairs broadly at the table — oysters and shellfish, fried appetisers, sushi, or a fruit-topped dessert where a sweeter wine would overwhelm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Beau Joie come in a copper bottle? The casing is made from recycled copper and is the brand's signature. Beyond the look, the metal helps keep the Champagne cold for longer once poured service begins.
Is Beau Joie Brut sweet? No. Brut is a dry style, and this cuvee sits at the low end of dosage, so it tastes crisp and fruit-led rather than sweet.
Where is Beau Joie made? In Epernay, in the Champagne region of France — only sparkling wine from that delimited region, made by the traditional bottle-fermentation method, can be labelled Champagne.
