It is led by the indefatigueable Godefroy Baijot, who is the Global Export Manager, and talented winemaker Cedric Thiebault. 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 it 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 food.
