Besserat de Bellefon
Brut Rosé Champagne
Champagne, France
Besserat de Bellefon – Cuvée des Moines Rosé Brut – N/V
Épernay - Champagne – France 🇫🇷
Overview
A refined, gastronomic rosé Champagne from one of Épernay’s quiet icons. This non-vintage cuvée is crafted in Besserat de Bellefon’s signature lower-pressure style, resulting in a more vinous, creamy texture rather than aggressive effervescence. A blend of 35% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 35% Pinot Meunier, delivering balance between freshness, structure, and roundness. The rosé is produced via red wine addition (assemblage) rather than saignée, the classic and more controlled Champagne rosé method.
Aromas & Flavors
Delicate red berries, wild strawberry and red currant, interwoven with citrus peel, subtle florals, and a gentle pastry nuance. The fruit expression is restrained and elegant, never overpowering, with a refined, savory edge.
Mouthfeel
Silky and refined with a fine, soft mousse. Creamy mid-palate, dry and precise, finishing clean with quiet persistence. The reduced CO₂ makes this Champagne notably food-friendly and composed.
Food Pairings
Exceptional with crudo tuna tartare (especially with Japanese seasoning), heirloom beet and burrata salad, shellfish, sashimi, or lightly seasoned Mediterranean dishes.
Verdict
An elegant, understated rosé Champagne built for the table rather than the spotlight. Subtle, balanced, and gastronomic, this is a Champagne that rewards attention and pairing rather than spectacle.
Did You Know?
Besserat de Bellefon has historically designed its Champagnes specifically for gastronomic service, even adjusting pressure levels to enhance harmony with food. That philosophy is clearly expressed in the Cuvée des Moines range.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
This is not a party popper, it’s a serious, food-driven rosé Champagne. I loved how seamlessly it paired with both tuna crudo and a beet & burrata salad, adapting effortlessly across cuisines while maintaining elegance and balance.
