Champagne Françoise Bedel
The Soul of the Earth Extra Raw 2008
Champagne | White | 2008
This wine is made primarily from Chardonnay, complemented by small touches of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The vines, aged between 30 and 60 years, thrive in silty and marl-limestone soils, contributing to its beautiful complexity. Vinification takes place in oak barrels and enamelled tanks, with partial malolactic fermentation. After 10 years of aging on the lees, this wine displays a refined structure, with an extra-brut dosage of 4 g/l.

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.
