Description

Besserat de Bellefon's Cuvée des Moines 2008 is a champagne that sublimates the majestic tension and exceptional structure of this great vintage.

A cuvée with great gastronomic potential, it is a brilliant accompaniment to seafood or fish.

Cuvée des Moines 2008 Besserat de Bellefon is a blend of 69% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus terroirs of Mesnil-sur-Oger, Chouilly, Cramant and Avize, 21% Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus of Ambonnay and Mailly, and 10% Pinot Meunier from Cumières (1er Cru).

This champagne was vinified in stainless steel tanks, and malolactic fermentation was omitted to preserve its freshness. The dosage is Brut (8g/l).

Cuvée des Moines 2008 has an intense golden color, accompanied by fine, abundant bubbles.

On the nose, Chardonnay dominates, with notes of candied citrus, exotic fruits, and always a beautiful mineralitý. On the second nose, honeyed, spicy notes emerge. Pinots bring the touch of yellow fruit (vine peach, apricot).

On the palate, fruit aromas are powerful, rich but without overshadowing the wine's mineral tension.

The finish is saline, generous and persistent.
