Francoise Bedel Champagne Entre Ciel et Terre Extra Brut 2018

Françoise Bedel’s Entre Ciel et Terre Extra Brut 2018 is a taut, elegant Champagne blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, made in the traditional method. From biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Marne Valley, it combines a focused, lively profile with a distinctly dry finish.

Tasting Notes
Expect a poised, precise style, with focused aromas and a lively, vertical character on the palate. Its flavour is described as savoury and clearly shaped by the wine’s origins, finishing with pronounced, lingering salinity. The wine’s structure and freshness give it the potential to develop over approximately five to ten years. Its extended lees ageing contributes further depth and aromatic precision.

Production
The grapes come from Françoise Bedel’s vineyards in the Marne Valley, around Crouttes-sur-Marne, Nanteuil-sur-Marne, Charly-sur-Marne and Villiers-Saint-Denis. Clay and calcareous marl soils, together with vines aged roughly 30 to 60 years, contribute to the wine’s focused, mineral character. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, and the Champagne is made by the traditional method, including a second fermentation in bottle and six years of ageing on the lees. Its Extra Brut dosage preserves a dry, crisp expression.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, shellfish, sashimi or simply prepared white fish. Its dry style and saline finish also suit aged hard cheeses. Decanting is not usually necessary; allow the wine a few minutes in the glass to open.

Producer
Françoise Bedel is a Champagne producer whose biodynamically farmed vineyards lie along the Marne Valley. The estate’s approach combines careful vineyard work with traditional bottle fermentation and extended ageing on the lees, producing Champagnes that express their place of origin through a focused profile and marked mineral salinity.
