Besserat de Bellefon, based in Epernay, is most known for its "Cuvee des Moines" line of Champagne Brut. These carefully crafted Champagnes are produced with less atmospheric pressure than more traditional styles. The result is a Champagne with a softer creamy mouse and ideal for consumption with food. The current offering of Besserat de Bellefon includes Brut, Brut Rose, Blancs de Blanc, and Vintage 2002.
We are dedicated to making our wines through natural fermentation. A secondary fermentation at low temperature allows for a slower fermentation which guarantees finer bubbles. Our small-capacity vats ensure perfectly uniform fermentation.
