The house style is based on its unique crafting process, which gives rise to bubbles that are considerably finer than those in a traditional Champagne. Besserat de Bellefon uses less liqueur de tirage. The ensuing secondary fermentation is lighter and more delicate; the process is assisted by deep, cool cellars which enable a smooth and lingering froth to develop. The pressure is therefore less than in a conventional bottle (4.5 kg as opposed to 6 kg). The delicacy of the bubbles and lightness of froth give a creamy structure which makes it particularly suitable as an aperitif and for fine dining. Besserat de Bellefon is a Champagne that has been specifically created to accompany the most outstanding of fine dining experiences.

Tasting notes
Fragrance: the first expression is of floral aromas which evolve into fruitier fragrances of white peach and Mirabelle plum. Notes of hazelnut and praline develop at the finish.
Taste: the attack is fresh and strong, then the wine reveals its full roundness, structure and smoothness. Notes of fresh fruit, apricot, pineapple and vineyard peach. The long, racy finish promises a bright future for this elegant, classy wine..
