Bérêche Brut Réserve
53.30₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The NV Brut Réserve is the foundational wine at Bérêche, and the latest release is based on the 2022 vintage, incorporating a 40% perpetual reserve component, uniting the freshness of the northern slopes and the maturity of the hot, dry vintage. Fruit for this wine comes from vineyard sites across the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de Marne, and the Champagne was disgorged in October 2024 with six grams per liter dosage. Bursting from the glass with aromas of nectarine, orange zest and brioche, it's medium- to full-bodied and ample, with considerable density, underpinned by racy acidity and concluding with a chalky finish. The Brut Réserve has seen the most refinements in recent years as it no longer incorporates tailles and now features Chardonnay from Trépail; technically, this means that the pH is lower and the acidity is higher. It’s one of the most reliable entry-level NV bottlings on the market.

Description
Champagne Bérêche Brut Réserve is a jewel that comes from the prestigious Champagne region in France. This sparkling wine is the result of the meticulous selection and blending of three main grape varieties: Chardonnay (35%), Pinot Noir (30%) and Meunier (35%). These grapes are grown in vineyards with an average age of over 40 years, which guarantees exceptional quality and character in every bottle.
Winemaking
The terroir of this champagne is distributed in different regions: 35% in Ludes, 30% in Ormes, 25% in Mareuil-le-port and 10% in Trépail, covering a total of 7 hectares. The elaboration of this wine is an artisanal and careful process. Slow fermentation is carried out in oak barrels and small steel vats, followed by ageing on the lees for 24 to 36 months in rhyme. Each year, 35% of reserve wines are added, which gives it an unequalled consistency and quality.
Taste
The taste of Champagne Bérêche Brut Réserve is an amalgam of sensations. Aromas of orange oil, fresh orchard fruits and freshly baked bread stand out. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy, gourmand texture complemented by tangible acids and an enveloping profile. The aromatic expression is well-defined, with a foam that caresses the palate and finishes unctuously with spicy notes. It is a subtle composition that encapsulates all the aesthetic codes of the domain in a more immediate style. The combination of old techniques with modern sensibility and awareness results in a champagne that is both a tribute to tradition and a contemporary expression of Champagne's terroir.
