CHAMPAGNE BESSERAT DE BELLEFON

Besserat de Bellefon was founded in 1843 in Ay by Edmond Besserat, who created champagnes for leading hotels, restaurants and purveyors

of fine wines. Edmond’s vision was continued by his son, Victor Besserat, who in 1930 took up the challenge laid down by the Director of a distinguished Parisian

restaurant, the Samaritaine de Luxe, to craft a delicate and lightly sparkling champagne as a perfect accompaniment to fine dining. This marked the birth of the Cuvée

des Moines range named in tribute to the Benedictine monks who first mastered the techniques of fermenting champagne.

The Cuvée des Moines range uses a lower dosage – reducing pressure in the bottle and resulting in tiny bubbles, a very fine mousse and a creamier texture. The

bubbles of Besserat de Bellefon champagnes are 30% finer than those of traditional champagnes.

Cédric Thiébault, whose roots lie in the Champagne region, is one of the region’s most promising Cellar Masters. He joined Besserat de Bellefon

in 1999 and spent seven years perfecting his knowledge of the House’s unique style with a team of oenologists in Epernay. In 2006 he was entrusted with the

position of Cellar Master.

The Cuvée des Moines Brut bursts with freshness before revealing its round, rich

structure. Blended with a high proportion of Pinot Meunier, it is the perfect

accompaniment to roast poultry and white meats.
