Bereche Champagne Grand Cru Cramant & Avize Extra Brut 2020

Bérêche Champagne Grand Cru Cramant & Avize Extra Brut 2020 is a beautifully precise Chardonnay-led Champagne from two of the Côte des Blancs’ most prized Grand Cru villages. It combines the tension, minerality, and elegance that define Cramant and Avize, offering a terroir-driven expression with a distinctly artisanal edge. As a modern reference point in grower Champagne, it reflects both the prestige of its origin and Bérêche’s meticulous approach to production.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Champagne typically shows a fine, pale golden colour with a persistent, delicate mousse. The nose is refined and expressive, with notes of white flowers, citrus peel, green apple, crushed chalk, and subtle brioche or hazelnut nuances as it opens. On the palate, it is crisp and layered, combining bright acidity with a saline, mineral core and a creamy, finely textured finish. The extra brut dosage keeps the wine taut and focused, allowing the purity of the Grand Cru Chardonnay to shine. While already compelling now, it has the structure and concentration to develop beautifully over several years.

Production
The grapes come from Grand Cru sites in Cramant and Avize, two chalk-rich villages in the Côte des Blancs known for producing some of Champagne’s most elegant and mineral Chardonnay. These terroirs are marked by deep limestone soils and excellent drainage, helping preserve freshness and precision in the fruit. Bérêche is known for careful vineyard work and low-intervention vinification, aiming to express each site as clearly as possible. The wine is made in an extra brut style to highlight purity and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs naturally with oysters, scallops, sashimi, lobster, and other delicate seafood, as well as roast chicken, Parmesan crisps, or lightly creamy dishes. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C to show its finesse and energy. Decanting is not usually necessary, but a short rest in the glass can help the aromas fully open.

Producer
