Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines 2015 Blanc de Blanc Extra Brut

To the eye, this great Champagne reveals a pale yellow tint with slightly golden highlights, dazzling in its purity and brilliance, a testament to the noble origins of these grapes from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs.

The nose, reveals a bouquet of white flowers (camomile, hawthorn and jasmine) intermingled with citrus notes (lemon, yuzu, pomelo) characteristic of the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs. When the wine is opened, hints of candied citrus fruit, toast and almonds, the result of 8 years of ageing on the lees, add a lively, intense and delicious touch.

On the palate, this Champagne reveals a creamy and mineral texture, reflecting the grapes' maturity and the terroir's expression. A fine, persistent effervescence caresses the palate, underlining the perfect balance between freshness and complexity. The warmth of the vintage amplifies the fruity flavours of crisp green apple and juicy pear, while notes of toasted hazelnut and fresh brioche add a dimension of richness and depth.
