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.

Our opinion on the vintage
Upon opening, this wine reveals delicate aromas of white fruit and dried flowers, with a subtle toasty note indicative of its partial oak aging. On the palate, the texture is both fine and elegant, with a persistent and creamy effervescence. The flavors intertwine, showcasing the freshness of the Chardonnay and the slight depth imparted by the Pinot Noir, culminating in a clean, mineral finish. This wine captivates with its complexity and precision, making it ideal for lovers of refined and distinguished wines.
Champagne Françoise Bedel
Champagne | France
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.
