    Description 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.
    • Palate: Silky and full-bodied with fine effervescence. The tasting reveals flavors of toasted bread, almonds, and a mineral freshness supported by a long, elegant finish.

    Serving

    Serve between 10 and 12°C. Gentle decanting is recommended for this older Champagne to release its aromas without compromising bubble finesse.

    Food Pairings

    This exceptional Champagne pairs well with pan-seared foie gras with mild spices, roasted Breton lobster with lemon butter, Bresse chicken with morels, or roasted woodcock with truffle jus.

    Occasions

    Ideal for a wedding anniversary dinner, a professional promotion celebration, or a refined New Year's Eve meal with friends.

    Aging Potential

    This vintage can be enjoyed now but is expected to reach its peak between 2024 and 2030, during which it will display its full complexity and refinement.
