Champagne Besserat de Bellefon Brut Cuvee des Moines with Osetra Caviar


Besserat de Bellefon was founded in Aÿ in 1843 by Edmond Besserat. They have their own 25 hectares of  vineyards located in the Marne Valley and source the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from throughout the champagne region.

Champagne Besserat de Bellefon Brut Cuvee des Moines NV is a blend of  35% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 45% Pinot Meunier.

The champagne has bright straw color with its tiny streaming bubbles.. There are aromas of fresh black juicy fruits, plum,peach and toasted brioche. This has a wonderful soft mouth feel as the aromas transform themselves to flavors on the palate. The minerality is so well blended. On the dry finish there is freshness with lingering sweet  brioche and citrus.

Lady Elena Caviar Pairing 

O My Setra Caviar( Osetra): With this delicious pairing, the minerality is highlighted while enjoying the soft fruit flavors. A great Lady Elena Caviar and champagne pairing.
