IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

The color is a soft pink with orange and salmon highlights. Fine froth forming a creamy ring in the glass. The nose is intense and clean with notes of slightly candied small red fruit, especially wild strawberry. It carries suggestions of almond and red currant jelly. Good weight on the palate. Attack is slightly acid, then red fruit are back to the fore with black and red currants. Mouth is fleshy, fresh and tender. Definitely balanced with very silky texture. The finish is lively, not aggressive, with persistent length.Besserat de Bellefon’s ”Cuvee de Moines” line of Champagnes is produced using a lower dosage resulting in a wine with tiny bubbles, lighter pressure, finer mousse and a creamier texture.Combined with no malolactic fermentation to maintain crisp acidity and a more fruit-forward profile this line of wines is the perfect accompaniment to a wide array of foods - or to drink as an aperitif.
