About this wine

Bêtes à Bon Dieu is a mature Champagne from Adrien Salot, combining the generosity of Meunier with the freshness and lift of Chardonnay. The fruit is fermented with indigenous yeasts and handled with minimal intervention, followed by maturation in steel and oak and extended ageing in bottle. The aromatic profile has developed toward ripe yellow fruit, brioche and mineral notes, while the palate remains rounded and creamy without losing freshness. Released without dosage, it balances mature Champagne complexity with an unforced, energetic finish.

Tasting Note

Critics describe ripe yellow fruit, brioche and minerals, with a generous, creamy palate balanced by lively freshness, elegant structure and good length.

Adrien Salot

Adrien Salot is a small-scale grower in the western Vallée de la Marne, farming around 2.2 hectares around Chézy-sur-Marne. An oenologist and artist, he works with a minimalist approach in the cellar, using indigenous yeasts and very little sulphur to create highly individual, terroir-driven Champagnes that emphasise the character of each vintage.
