Description
The “Explosion of Aromas”
This cuvee is the fruit of a unique and very specific method of champagne making that has been perpetuated by Besserat de Bellefon since 1930. This consists of adding less “liqueur de tirage” (a mix of sugar, yeast and must) at the moment of bottling which creates a lighter, more diaphanous formation of effervescence. The mousse is smooth, creamy and persistent. A distinctive feature of our Blanc de Noirs is the absence of malolactic fermentation.
"This blend combines the power and the intensity of Bouzy and Ambonnay with the freshness and tension of Verzy and Mailly, to offer a superbly balanced, complex, warm and diaphanous wine.”
