Besserat de Bellefon
A charming house based in Epernay and owned by the Lanson BCC family of producers. The indefatigable Godefroy Baijot who is the Global Export Manager and talented winemaker Cedric Thiebault lead this Maison. The most distinctive asset to this house is that all of their wines are made using low bar pressure.
For those of you who may not have come across this, most champagne is made at 6 bar of pressure where as Besserat make them at 4.5 bar. How does this make the wines different? The good news is that there aren't any less bubbles, instead, the approach of the bubble on the palate is more delicate which makes them especially suited to pairing with foods of all kinds.

Besserat de Bellefon Champagne Curated for Australia’s Connoisseurs
Champagne is a singular drink in the sense that it implies a sense of occasion as well as bringing a certain refinement and class to any gathering. There are few drinks that make eyes light up and add to an evening like a bottle of bubbly. It is a dramatic beverage, everything from opening the bottle to the active pop and fizz of the bubbles within. Finding a truly exceptional taste following the initial excitement is always desirable and something that those familiar with Besserat de Bellefon champagne will understand.
Here at Emperor Champagne, we believe that the time for stock champagne that does little other than to serve as a token gesture is passed, and for this remarkable and incredibly complex drink to come into its own and reclaim the taste buds of those that imbibe. As such, we have dedicated our efforts to bringing the Australian public a great selection of some of the world’s finest champagnes, curated by a team of experts and ready to ship anywhere in the country.
From our base in Melbourne, we follow the guidance and direction of Kyla Kirkpatrick, The Champagne Dame, whose expert knowledge in the field and extensive relationships with the producers of the region ensures that there is no other supplier with their finger on the pulse of this niche industry like us.
What this means for our clientele is that they can expect the most interesting and unique collection available at their fingertips all year round, and for those that are members of our Emperor Champagne Club, they can anticipate the arrival of bottles of champagne delivered in luxurious packaging every single month.
Champagne’s Sensual Side
Champagne is imbued with particular characteristics and implies that those that drink it are cut from a successful cloth who are used to the finer things in life. This is why you will always see celebrities posing with flutes of champagne and proudly toting their house bottle of choice because it is part of a world that loves to celebrate power, status and an evergreen sense of adventure.
When you crack a bottle of Besserat de Bellefon Brut Rosé this is not just the opening and serving of a drink that goes unnoticed. Humans are clued in subconsciously to the process and there is an undeniable sense of anticipation that stems from this suggestive ritual.
Understanding that this beverage has been aged for years and has been waiting to be released, it, therefore, makes sense that the popping of a cork inspires excitement, which is then matched by the playfulness of the bubbles and the sense of fun they bring to the mouths of those gathered.
It is no wonder that champagne is considered an aphrodisiac, but science also points to the fact that beyond metaphors and suggestive imagery, the presence of potassium, magnesium and zinc combined with the alluring scent that wafts from the glass, all play a part in activating the more amorous impulses of those that drink it.
An Exclusive Selection Ready to Ship
Thus, it makes sense that for those that are planning a quiet rendezvous with that special someone, or wish to inspire a night of excitement, need look no further than our exclusive selection here at Emperor Champagne.
Besserat de Bellefon champagne is just the tip of the iceberg when you shop in our online store. All of the major house names as well as some of the most interesting and exciting medium sized houses and boutique producers are here and waiting for you to place your order. So, shop with confidence and prepare for a night that will live long in your memory here at Emperor Champagne.
