The rarity of Domaine Françoise Bedel & Fils! This dry white has the fruity and mineral aromas of champagne. Taste at least once as an aperitif or with a sauce-based poultry dish.
More infoVin Cent Bulle from Françoise Bedel & Fils is the property’s most unusual cuvée as although it is made with the same grape varieties as a champagne it is actually a dry white without the fizz! This original wine boasts the same lemony, mineral and salty aromas as champagne and has a similarly acidic structure along with a creamy texture from maturation on the lees. It makes an excellent aperitif or partner to sauce-based poultry dishes.
About the Producer Françoise Bedel et Fils
A family farm, Domaine Françoise Bedel et Fils is located in Crouttes-sur-Marne, a village in the Marne valley just a few hundred metres from the last lands of the Paris Basin. Françoise Bedel took over part of the domain in 1979 following Fernand and Marie-Louise Bedel, the first generation to work the property. Her son Vincent joined her in 2003. The domain is made up of 8.4 hectares of vines spread on both sides of the Marne in different towns: Crouttes-Sur-Marne, Nanteuil-Sur-Marne, Charly-Sur-Marne, and Villiers-Saint-Denis. The dominant grape variety is Pinot Meunier (78%), followed by Chardonnay (13%) and Pinot Noir (9%). The domain has been certified biodynamic since 1998. The grapes are harvested at perfect maturity and then the wines age for at least 36 months in the cellar. For considerable time, François Bedel has been offering Extra-Brut cuvées and producing very pure, assertive wines often with very subtle oxidative notes and fine flavour and strength. Still relatively unknown to the general public, this area is a must-see for avid champagne lovers.
