Champagne Françoise Bedel
Like in the Old Days Extra-Brut
Champagne | White | 2006
A blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, this wine showcases carefully cultivated grapes from vines between 25 and 60 years old. The clay, silt, and marl-limestone soils impart richness and complexity, while vinification in oak barrels and a long aging period of 16 years on lees further enhance its profile. Its low sugar content, resulting from an extra-brut dosage, accentuates its authentic character.

Champagne Françoise Bedel
Françoise Bedel has established herself as a leading figure in biodynamic winemaking in Champagne, with wines imbued with a unique patina. The cuvées, often aged for extended periods, develop a creamy texture driven by a refined Meunier grape. The fruity notes remain crisp despite the richness of the style, supported by supple acidity and a subtle salinity. Barrel aging in certain cuvées adds depth without masking the delicate bubbles. A singular world, where time plays a central role.
