Pol Roger is of the few champagne houses that have rightfully earned the British coat of arms to adorn every bottle and after all, it’s not just a favourite with the Royal Family but most of Britain, who know good champagne from the average. This medium-sized, family owned treasure of the Champagne region is the epitome of quality and consistency. With deep cool cellars, this maison leaves their cuvées ageing for far longer than most of their counterparts allowing the development of very fine and tiny bubbles. This creates a silky texture on the palate with subtle toasty notes that are the hallmark of excellent champagne.

This medium-sized, family owned treasure of the Champagne region is the epitome of quality and consistency. With deep cool cellars, this maison leaves their cuvées ageing for far longer than most of their counterparts allowing the development of very fine and tiny bubbles. This creates a silky texture on the palate with subtle toasty notes that are the hallmark of excellent champagne.

The aim is to have a consistent ‘house-style’ year in, year out, blending across multiple vintages and reserves to make the wine homogenous, even if the year brings in extraordinary fruit. To the brothers Chiquet, they couldn’t quite accept a dumbing down of the wine to suit a style. So instead, they decided to work with the best of that given year and change from giving their ‘NV’ the code ‘Cuvée No. 740 (base year: 2012)’ instead. The result is a wine that changes every year and reflects the best of their combined efforts with the offerings of Mother Nature. Cuvée No. 740 accounts for 90% of their production, which sits at 280,000 bottles. Although not organic, they are very hands-on in the vineyard and more non-interventionist in the winery, which means, lower sulphur, low sugar addition (extra brut) across the range and no filtration which upholds both body and aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is simply stunning, mineral, rich and layered simultaneously.

They called themselves 'Société des Grands Crus de la Champagne' because at the time, only growers that owned grand cru vineyards could join. Between them, they had grand cru vineyards in the areas of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims and they banded together as they were seeking to make better wines than they could achieve separately. So how did the name come about? Well this truly is an interesting story and through our research we discovered some interesting facts. The founders at first tried to create an acronym using their initials to form a name, which you can imagine was frustrating and ended nowhere. At a loss with what to do, the story goes, a very famous biscuit company called Huntley \u0026amp; Palmer, based in Berkshire, UK, inspired them. They were biscuit makers to the Royal family and received Royal warrants by Napoleon III. Apparently as many imports were restricted during the war back in the 1940's, the people of Reims or Remois as they are referred to were prepared to pay more for a packet of biscuits than a bottle of champagne! This inspired the champagne house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French are well known for their pastry, in particular, choux pastry.

They called themselves 'Société des Grands Crus de la Champagne' because at the time, only growers that owned grand cru vineyards could join. Between them, they had grand cru vineyards in the areas of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims and they banded together as they were seeking to make better wines than they could achieve separately. So how did the name come about? Well this truly is an interesting story and through our research we discovered some interesting facts. The founders at first tried to create an acronym using their initials to form a name, which you can imagine was frustrating and ended nowhere. At a loss with what to do, the story goes, a very famous biscuit company called Huntley \u0026amp; Palmer, based in Berkshire, UK, inspired them. They were biscuit makers to the Royal family and received Royal warrants by Napoleon III. Apparently as many imports were restricted during the war back in the 1940's, the people of Reims or Remois as they are referred to were prepared to pay more for a packet of biscuits than a bottle of champagne! This inspired the champagne house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe French are well known for their pastry, in particular, choux pastry. This is normally classic pastry (think profiteroles) mixed in with either Gruyere or Comte cheese. The result is soft, chewy, cheesy pastry. Perfect for brut style champagne with some reserve wine addition.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

They champion the use of the meunier grape which is often added to other cuvees without fanfare in other houses. The absolutely pristine wine making facilities located in Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ are overseen by multiple generations of the family as well as chef winemaker Francois Domi. The house purposely ferments at a lower temperature elongating the ferment to weeks and not days as can be standard in champagne, which helps capture the pristine nature of the fruit.

It is led by the indefatigable 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. In fact the house has made their wines to be more gastronomic in their approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","published_at":"2017-09-06T12:03:27+10:00","created_at":"2017-09-06T12:08:47+10:00","vendor":"Besserat de Bellefon","type":"Sec (Low Bar Pressure)","tags":["Christmas Day","Demi Sec","Family Owned","Low Bar Pressure","NYE","Region: Epernay","Sec","Taste: Almond","Taste: apple compote","Taste: lemon curd","Taste: Low Bar Pressure","Taste: No Malolactic Fermentation","Taste: Patisserie","Taste: peach crumble","Taste: white peach","Under $100","valentine","Year: NV"],"price":11295,"price_min":11295,"price_max":11295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":649580773404,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"BESS_CDM_SEC_SGL","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":2588994568301,"product_id":59676229660,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-05-05T22:42:59+10:00","updated_at":"2018-05-05T22:43:17+10:00","alt":"Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines Sec (Low Bar Pressure) Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/besserat-de-bellefon-cuvee-des-moines-sec-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525524197","variant_ids":[649580773404]},"available":true,"name":"Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines SEC - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":11295,"weight":1500,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"3507401002048","featured_media":{"alt":"Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines Sec (Low Bar Pressure) Champagne","id":817505861741,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.5,"height":1080,"width":540,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/besserat-de-bellefon-cuvee-des-moines-sec-champagne-image.jpg?v=1569057152"}}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/besserat-de-bellefon-cuvee-des-moines-sec-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525524197"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/besserat-de-bellefon-cuvee-des-moines-sec-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525524197","options":["Please select"],"media":[{"alt":"Besserat de Bellefon Cuvée des Moines Sec (Low Bar Pressure) Champagne","id":817505861741,"position":1,"preview_image":{"
