Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The Extra Brut at 1.6 g/L reveals a frank mineral tension, underpinned by the marl-chalk terroirs of the Vallée de la Marne.
Roundness
The dominant Pinot Meunier lends a velvety texture and characteristic notes of ripe yellow fruits.
Body
An artisan vigneron champagne of measured expression, oriented more towards finesse and precision than structural weight.
Length
Biodynamic farming imparts a clean aromatic persistence, with a delicate, saline finish.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with gilded highlights, enlivened by a fine, persistent mousse. On the nose, aromas of pear, mirabelle plum and acacia intertwine with discreet brioche notes drawn from extended lees ageing. On the palate, the generous roundness of Pinot Meunier expresses itself with great charm, balanced by a precise, incisive freshness and a finish with mineral and saline accents.

Terroirs

Drawn from an assemblage of three complementary terroirs in the Vallée de la Marne — silty loam, clay and marl-chalk — this champagne articulates with remarkable coherence the singularity of Pinot Meunier, the reigning grape variety of a sector farmed biodynamically since 1998.

Françoise Bedel

About this house

Françoise Bedel, a vigneron based in Crouttes-sur-Marne in the Vallée de la Marne, is a pioneering figure in biodynamic champagne. Converting to biodynamics as early as 1998, she tends her vines according to lunar and planetary rhythms, entirely without chemical inputs, using preparations made from plants, horn manure and horn silica to strengthen the soil's natural defences.

Her wines, crafted with total respect for the living world and vinified in enamelled vats, express with integrity the terroir of the Vallée de la Marne and the singularity of Pinot Meunier — a variety often overlooked by the grandes maisons, here given its rightful place of honour. An essential reference in committed, artisan champagne.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Its fine bubble and restrained dosage make this Extra Brut the ideal companion to warm, cheesy gougères.

Starter

The mineral freshness of the Extra Brut and the fruity notes of the Meunier lift a gravlax of salmon with citrus and fresh herbs.

Main course

Main course

The velvety roundness of the Pinot Meunier resonates beautifully with the creamy richness and gentle vegetal note of a green asparagus risotto.
