This wine is made primarily from Chardonnay, complemented by small amounts of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The vines, ranging from 30 to 60 years old, thrive in loamy and marl-limestone soils, lending the wine a beautiful complexity. Vinification takes place in oak barrels and enamel-lined tanks, with partial malolactic fermentation. After aging on lees for 10 years, this wine offers a refined structure, with an extra-brut dosage of 4 g/l.

Our Review of the Cuvée

Upon opening, this wine reveals delicate aromas of white fruit and dried flowers, with a subtle toasty note reflecting its partial barrel aging. On the palate, the texture is as refined as it is elegant, with a lingering, creamy effervescence. The flavors intertwine between the freshness of the Chardonnay and the slight depth provided by the Pinots, leading to a clean, mineral finish. This wine captivates with its complexity and precision, making it ideal for lovers of refined and distinguished wines.

Françoise Bedel has established herself as a prominent figure in Champagne biodynamics, crafting wines imbued with a unique patina. The cuvées, often aged for extended periods, develop a creamy texture underpinned by a finely sculpted Meunier. Fruity notes remain distinct despite the richness of the style, supported by supple acidity and a subtle salinity. Barrel fermentation for certain cuvées adds complexity without diminishing the finesse of the effervescence. A singular universe where time plays a pivotal role.
