A family history rooted in the land of Champagne
The Bedel line has its roots in Porteron since the 16th century, when the family lived from farming. Out of curiosity, a few vines were planted on the southern slopes of the village: a visionary intuition.
In 1954, Lucien Bedel turned this tradition into a vocation and signed his first bottles, made by hand. His son Alain Bedel developed the estate to 8 hectares, planted with the three noble Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The full-south exposure and a mastered winemaking give the house's wines an assertive personality, all in elegance and balance.
