Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A restrained dosage of 5.95 g/L and Meunier grown on marl-limestone soils impart a luminous, persistent tension.
Roundness
Six years on lees and the predominance of Meunier deliver a velvety texture — a generous palate poised between velvet and lace.
Depth
The 2012 vintage, sunny and well-balanced, develops a ripe, full-bodied character without tipping into excess.
Length
A shimmering, vital finish reveals remarkable aromatic persistence — the hallmark of extended ageing on lees.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with amber highlights, enlivened by a fine and persistent bead. The nose, of great purity, opens on candied yellow fruits, warm brioche and dried white flowers lifted by a touch of acacia honey. The palate unfolds with a texture between velvet and lace: the attack is silky, the development broad, the finish fresh and shimmering with a healthy, lingering length.

Terroirs

Sourced from vines aged 30 to 60 years planted on the clay-limestone and marl-limestone soils of Crouttes-sur-Marne, at the western tip of the Vallée de la Marne, the grapes are farmed using biodynamic practices certified by ECOCERT since 1999, and the cuvée is crafted without added sulphur.

Françoise Bedel

About this house

Françoise Bedel settled in Crouttes-sur-Marne in 1980 and, from 1999, began converting her 9 hectares to biodynamics — a pioneering move within Champagne. It was the health of her son Vincent that led her to this holistic agricultural philosophy, revealing a profound harmony between vine, soil and cosmos.

Now a world reference in biodynamic Champagne, the house crafts its wines without added sulphur, expressing with sincerity the clay-limestone terroirs of the Vallée de la Marne where Meunier reigns.

The citrus and fresh herbs of a gravlax echo the yellow-fruit notes and lively tension of this biodynamic Brut.

The roundness of Meunier and the cuvée's aromatic persistence harmonise beautifully with the delicacy of a truffle-stuffed poultry.
