Bereche et Fils 'Une' Extra Brut Millesime, Champagne, France 2015

Bereche et Fils, a family-run Champagne house, has earned a reputation for producing meticulously crafted wines that reflect the character of their terroir. Their Champagne Brut Reserve is a non-vintage blend that combines 35% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 30% Pinot Meunier. The wine is based on the 2021 vintage, with 30% reserve wine added to create a harmonious balance between freshness and depth. Aged for at least 2.5 years on the lees, it develops a refined texture and complexity, reflecting the family's dedication to traditional winemaking methods.

"The 2015 Extra-Brut Une Champagne is a blend of all the 1er and Grand Crus in the cellar. It's a step up from the debut 2014. Explosive in the glass, the 2015 possesses tremendous textural richness from start to finish. Orchard fruit, slate, chalk, mint, white flowers and a kiss of toasty brioche saturate the palate. Blending is such a central part of the identity of Champagne. Bérêche's Extra-Brut Une Champagne makes that point loud and clear. -Antonio Galloni Vinous - 97 pts
