Style

Besserat de Bellefon specializes in blanc de noirs champagne, produced exclusively from red-skinned grapes, principally Pinot Noir. The house has established itself through both non-vintage and vintage iterations of this style. Their blanc de noirs are characterized by structure and depth, positioned as table-friendly champagnes suited to richer foods and meat dishes rather than as rarefied collector's items. The house emphasizes accessibility and approachability within the blanc de noirs category.

History

The house has long maintained a non-vintage blanc de noirs in its portfolio. In 2026, Besserat de Bellefon launched its first vintage blanc de noirs champagne, marking a significant expansion of its commitment to the style. This move reflects a broader industry trend of producers revisiting and refining their blanc de noirs offerings as consumer interest in the category continues to grow.
