Champagne Françoise Bedel
Comme Autrefois Extra-Brut 2006
Champagne | Blanc | 2006
Made from a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, this wine showcases grapes carefully cultivated from vines ranging in age from 25 to 60 years. The clay, loam, and marl-limestone soils lend richness and complexity, while aging in oak barrels and a long maturation period on 16-year-old slats enrich its profile. Its low sugar content, resulting from an extra-brut dosage, accentuates its authentic character.

Champagne Françoise Bedel
Champagne | France
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.
