Besserat de Bellefon | Grande Tradition Brut - NV

Plushly creamy on the palate, with flavors of ripe white raspberry, persimmon and blanched almond enlivened by a spine of lemony acidity. An overtone of minerally oyster shell and saline drives the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A ripe style, this Champagne has a crisp interior that gives apple freshness to the richness. Bottle age has added complexity to the fruits, with bright acidity at the end. Drink this bottling now.

• Wine Spectator: Plushly creamy on the palate, with flavors of ripe white raspberry, persimmon and blanched almond enlivened by a spine of lemony acidity. An overtone of minerally oyster shell and saline drives the finish. Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Producer Information

Besserat de Bellefon was founded in Ay in 1843 by Edmond Besserat, who originally hailed from Hautvillers. Over the years he became recognized for his skill in crafting exceptional cuvées that he supplied to the greatest hotels, restaurants and wine merchants of the day. Following in Edmond's footsteps, future generations continued the business. His grandsons, Victor and Edmond, became as passionate as their forebear about work well done and a commitment to excellence and quality. With complementary talents (one was an outstanding technician, the other a highly accomplished taster) they worked together in complete harmony. They were committed to developing Besserat de Bellefon’s renown and prestige. In 1920 Edmond married Yvonne de Méric de Bellefon, daughter of a noble Champagne family, giving the House a family crest, and the Besserat de Bellefon legend was born.
