Item Description
Edmond Besserat founded Besserat Champagne in 1843. After Edmond, his grandsons continued to build the reputation of the house. In 1927, Edmond Besserat, a grandson of the founder, married Yvonne de Meric de Bellefon, who came from another prestigious Champagne family, and the house of Besserat de Bellefon Champagne was born. The historic Bellefon Château is world-renowned, in Épernay, in the heart of the Champagne region. Besserat de Bellefon has continued to be a leading European Champagne brand for over 150 years.
92 points from Robert Parker in the Wine Advocate who said, The golden-yellow NV Cuvée des Moines Extra Brut blends 56% Chardonnay with 44% Pinot Noir and offers a deep, rich and elegant bouquet with pure chalk aromas intertwined with ripe and aromatic Kirsch and Chardonnay-driven tropical fruit expressions as well as as brioche and mushroom aromas, which indicate a certain maturity. On the palate, this is a rich, complex yet pure, refined, mineral-fresh and beautifully matured Extra Brut with lots of brioche, bread and mushroom flavors and highly elegant, mineral-driven acidity. The vibrant, stimulating finish is pure, fresh and persistently salty.
This is an excellent Extra Brut, serve it today or during the next 10 years.
