    Born for the Table

    A distinctive sensation, created with gastronomy in mind since 1930.

    1843

    Founded in Aÿ

    Maison Besserat de Bellefon traces its origins to Aÿ, now based in Épernay.

    A lighter style created for the table

    Developed specifically to accompany an entire meal in response to restaurant clients.

    THE BB SENSATION

    Fine, light and creamy effervescence

    A lower-pressure method combined with preserved freshness, aromatic expression and ageing potential.

    Winemaking Philosophy

    Finesse you can feel.

    A lower-pressure method creates a finer, lighter and creamier perception of effervescence. The Maison also avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness, aromatic expression and ageing potential.

    Lower-Pressure Mousse

    Yields a soft, delicate perception of bubbles that coats the palate gently.

    No Malolactic Fermentation

    Preserves crisp natural freshness, aromatic purity and ageing potential.
