About the Wine

“Its dazzling clarity, imbued with minerality, reveals the depth of its original balance. Brimming with fruit, spices, and immense energy, Bleu Brut shimmers with luminous coppery highlights and offers magnificent depth. A timeless signature. A first step into the world of BB.” Cédric Thiébault Cellarmaster, Champagne Besserat de Bellefon.

This Brut Bleu is a beautiful blend of 45% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay, and 20% Pinot Noir grapes that are sourced from Champagne's finest villages. The house style is to reduce the amount of effervescence to create a sumptuous and rich profile. This champagne house has made a name for itself as a true luxury in world-famous cabarets like the Moulin Rouge and Crazy Horse. This is your chance to taste history. 

This Cuvee is the fruit of a unique and very specific method of champagne making that has been perpetuated by Besserat de Bellefon since 1930. This consists of adding less “liqueur de tirage” (a mix of sugar, yeast, and must) at the moment of bottling which creates a lighter, more diaphanous formation of effervescence. The mousse is smooth, creamy, and persistent. Notably, a distinctive feature of the Bleu Brut is its intentional omission of malolactic fermentation.

Tasting Notes: 45% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir. 

Reviews 

With a large proportion of Meunier in the blend, this Champagne is soft, with attractive fruity acidity. The wine is eminently drinkable; its acidity is well integrated into the ripe, white-fruit flavors. Drink now. ~92 Wine Enthusiast

Tightly knit and racy, this is mouthwatering and harmonious, showing flavors of black currant, smoked almond, candied lemon zest, honey, and chalk. Vibrant and hard to stop sipping, with a firm, smoky finish. 750 cases made, 625 cases imported. ~92 Wine Spectator

Light golden with a copper hue and young vivid mousse. Pure nose, discreet fruit, rather pinot dominated with plum, red berries, ripe citrus and pain d´épice. The balanced palate, classic dosage without a sensation of sweetness, nicely rounded with a crisp acidity, generous red fruit falvours and good length. Harmonious in a classic style. ~90 Andreas Larsson
