Champagne Francoise Bedel et Fils 2003 'L'Ame de la Terre' Extra Brut, Champagne AOC
Rating: 91
The Françoise Bedel 2003 Brut L’Ame de la Terre
announces itself with sweaty and buckwheat-like pungency
and smokiness, behind which are intimations of
the apple and white peach that then dominate an expansive
and prominently lees-enriched palate. Toasted
grains, animal and saline mineral nuances, as well as
prominent chew of fruit skin and piquancy of pit and
pip combine for a finish of interactively complex and
downright invigoration such as one doesn’t associate
with this torrid vintage. I imagine that this will merit
at least 2-3 more years of attention.
