Francoise Bedel
The Bedel family has been involved in Champagne production for around three generations. The current member of the family to run the domaine is Francois Bedel and her family. They have around 8 hectares of vineyards situated in several towns either side of the river Marne, comprising 79% Pinot Meunier, 14% Chardonnay and 7% Pinot Noir.
Since 1999 Francoise has cultivated all the vineyards according to biodynamic techniques. "The viticulture methods preclude the use of any synthetic chemical products and acknowledges that the fact that the earth is a living organism. In this regard our domaine is considered a living body. Our goal is to make a well balanced, high quality and harmonious wine".
The wines are all produced using traditional methods from the pressing of the grapes through to aeging and manual remuage. The Dis, Vin Secret is 86% Pinot Meunier, 6% Chardonnay and 8% Pinot Noir.
