Information
 


Since 1979, when Ms.Francoise Bedel has started to manage the estate, Champagne Bedel has continuously been improving and shifted to biodynamic farming. Bedel is the first qualified member of BIODYVIN* from Champagne region(2002). She encountered homeopathy in the process of seeking good way to cure Vincent(Francoise son)’s disease. She also had got an interest in concept of Biodynamie which uses similar idea and methods. Then, she began to apply Biodynamie to her vineyards(1998). Today Bedel is recognized as an icon of Biodynamic Champagne, and also finest producer of Pinot-Meunier.

One of the disadvantage of small producer is short ageing period. They cannot afford long ageing period therefore wines are relatively young. Bedel is able to spend extremely long time for ageing, and then they can release the bottle at the best timing. That's the reason why Bedel's wine has depth and beautiful integration.

*BIODYVIN is a group of pure biodynamist and established by Lalou Bize-LEROY and Anne-Claude LEFLAIVE.
