Bleu Brut by Besserat de Bellefon captures the essence of Champagne’s finest vineyards, meticulously crafted by Cellarmaster Cédric Thiébault. This exceptional cuvée, dating back to 1930, is known for its unique effervescence, crafted with reduced "liqueur de tirage" for a lighter, creamier mousse. Showcasing a luminous straw-yellow color with coppery highlights, Bleu Brut is defined by its absence of malolactic fermentation, revealing pure minerality, complex fruit notes, and a perfectly balanced vinous character.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Expansive and sumptuous aromas of lime blossom, honeysuckle, hazelnut, and Mirabelle plum.
- Palate: Harmonious and vinous with balanced structure, a refined taste, and a creamy mousse.
- Finish: Smooth and persistent, with immense depth and clarity.
Serving Suggestion: Serve at 8–10°C to experience its full complexity. Bleu Brut pairs exquisitely with dishes such as smoked duck breast with onion confit or sardines with a touch of yuzu.
