Champagne Bérêche et Fils Brut Réserve Vieilles Vignes Non Filtrée NV Base 22. Disg Jun 2025

Champagne Bérêche et Fils Brut Réserve Vieilles Vignes is bottled unfiltered and given three years on lees before hand disgorgement.

Bérêche et Fils is a grower house at Ludes in the Montagne de Reims, run by brothers Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche, and this cuvée is the estate's introduction. The blend is thirty-five per cent Pinot Noir from Ludes, Trépail and Ormes, thirty-five per cent Chardonnay from sites across the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, and thirty per cent Meunier from Mareuil-le-Port. Ludes and Trépail supply the tension that offsets the depth and texture of the Marne fruit and the reserve wines. Around sixty-five per cent of the blend comes from the base vintage, the balance from the two preceding years, and average vine age is forty years. The hand-harvested fruit ferments naturally in barrel before ageing in barrel and tank. After bottling the wine spends thirty-six months on lees in the Bérêche cellar and is then disgorged by hand with roughly 5 g/L dosage.

Drinking beautifully now and capable of long ageing. Serve at around 8°C with roast chicken, smoked salmon or a well-aged Gruyère.
