Françoise Bedel is a family-run Champagne house based in Crouttes-sur-Marne, in Aisne, in the Vallée de la Marne. A grower-producer, she carries forward the legacy of Fernand and Marie-Louise Bedel, the family's first generation; in 1979 Françoise Bedel took over part of the domaine, which she now runs with her family under the name of Maison Françoise Bedel & Fils.

The vineyard extends over about 8.85 hectares spread across both banks of the Marne, in the communes of Crouttes-sur-Marne, Nanteuil-sur-Marne, Charly-sur-Marne and Villiers-Saint-Denis, with vines between 30 and 60 years old on clay-limestone and silt-limestone soils. The leading variety is Meunier, which accounts for 79% of the plantings, alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The diversity of the subsoils allows for blends by terroir and "de Terroirs" cuvées.

The house is a pioneer of biodynamics in Champagne: after abandoning herbicides and returning to tillage in 1997, biodynamics was introduced in the vineyards from 1998, and from 1999 the entire area entered ECOCERT-certified conversion. A journey guided by the pursuit of harmony and balance for the vine and the wine, and by the desire to pass on healthy land to future generations.

The range includes cuvées such as Origin'elle, Dis Vin Secret, Entre Ciel et Terre and the vintage cuvées L'Âme de la Terre, Jouvence and Comme Autrefois, culminating in the historic Robert Winer.

Biodynamics, Meunier and a deep respect for the land make Françoise Bedel one of the most authentic voices of the Vallée de la Marne.
