Françoise Bedel Comme Autrefois 2008 comes from Françoise Bedel in the Vallée de la Marne, on limestone marl. Dried fruit, brioche and sweet spices accompany aging in oak barrels and on the lees. The palate is full, silky and saline yet remains lively. Age for 15 to 25 years; pair with crab or lobster.
A family-run house in the Vallée de la Marne, Françoise Bedel has followed a biodynamic approach since 1998, with a focus on expressing Champagne’s terroirs.
- Terroir: Clay, silt and marl over limestone give the Champagne a precise, mineral and saline structure.
- Winemaking: Fermentation in oak barrels, without malolactic fermentation, followed by extended aging on the lees using a traditional approach.
Tasting notes for Françoise Bedel Comme Autrefois 2008
Appearance – The luminous, deep antique-gold color reveals delicate mousse and a visually generous texture.
On the nose – Dried fruit and ripe citrus give way to brioche, sweet spices and honey, with a touch of gingerbread and a saline nuance.
On the palate – A full-bodied, vinous character is balanced by fresh acidity, mineral tension and silky mousse, leading to a long, precise finish marked by salinity.
Serving: 6 to 8 °C in a sufficiently generous Champagne glass.
2008 vintage
Here, the 2008 vintage expresses a ripe, complex and taut Champagne, shaped by extended aging on the lees and a saline finish.
