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 take on this vintage

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 leading figure in biodynamic winemaking in Champagne, producing wines with a unique character. Her cuvées, often aged for extended periods, develop a creamy texture underpinned by a refined Meunier. The fruity notes remain distinct despite the wine’s rich style, supported by supple acidity and a subtle minerality. Barrel aging for certain cuvées adds depth without diminishing the finesse of the bubbles. A singular world, where time plays a central role.
