Description of Besserat de Bellefon Réserve Collection

Estate

Champagne Besserat de Bellefon is a distinguished house known for its elegant and refined Champagne style. Founded in 1843, it focuses on producing Champagnes that emphasize fine bubbles and rich aromatics.

Vineyard

This vintage blend brings together the three classic Champagne grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. These grapes respectively provide freshness, structure, and roundness to the wine.

Wine

This white Champagne offers a harmonious balance of fruitiness and freshness. It expresses finesse and complexity, which are hallmarks of Besserat de Bellefon’s style. The wine is a delicate sparkling wine with a fine mousse and an intense aromatic profile.

Vintage

The 1985 vintage is known for its balance and aging potential. That year yielded ripe grapes with good concentration, allowing the development of complex aromas over time.

Vinification & Aging

Though detailed specifics are not provided, this Champagne underwent traditional vinification with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Extended aging on lees developed complex aromas and the characteristic fine mousse.

Grape Variety

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir - Pinot Meunier

Characteristics & Tasting

Tasting

  • Appearance: Deep golden yellow with amber highlights, reflecting its age and cellar evolution.
  • Nose: Complex and rich, dominated by aromas of brioche, toasted nuts, honey, and elegant dried fruit notes.
