Champagne AOC Extra Brut Comme Autrefois 2006 Françoise Bedel

The Champagne Extra Brut Comme Autrefois by Françoise Bedel is the result of Pinot Meunier grapes, which make up almost half of the blend, which are combined with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, coming from 25-60 year old vines grown on clay soils, silt, marl and limestone.

Fermentation takes place entirely in oak barrels. Once the malolactic fermentation is complete, we proceed with refermentation in the bottle according to the Champenoise method and refinement which lasts for 16 years on the yeasts.

It presents itself to the eye with a straw yellow color and a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is dominated by white pulp fruit and brioche nuances, while the palate is broad, fine and precise, with a beautiful persistence.

It is ideal in combination with fresh cheeses and fish dishes.
