Bereche Champagne Rive Gauche Extra Brut Millesime 2022

Bérèche Champagne Rive Gauche Extra Brut Millésime 2022 is a distinctive Blanc de Noirs that showcases Pinot Meunier with real precision and character. Sourced from mature vineyards on the left bank of the Marne, it combines ripe fruit, saline energy, and the finesse that has made Bérèche one of Champagne’s most respected artisanal producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, refined profile with fine bubbles and an elegant, focused mousse. The nose opens with citrus peel and pear, then layers in pastry, toasted almond, and a subtle mineral edge that gives the wine extra depth. On the palate, it is full yet incisive, with a chalky, saline finish that leaves the mouth feeling dry and refreshed. The Extra Brut style keeps the wine taut and linear, while the old-vine fruit adds texture and complexity. It should age well over the next several years, developing more nutty and brioche-like nuances while retaining its freshness.

Production
This Champagne comes from parcels in Mareuil-le-Port on the left bank of the Marne Valley, notably Maisoncelle and Côte aux Châtaigniers. The vines are over 50 years old and rooted in deep clay, limestone, and sand soils, which help shape the wine’s tension, freshness, and savory finish. Harvest is done carefully to preserve purity and balance, with vinification beginning in slow barrel fermentation followed by extended lees aging and secondary fermentation in the traditional method.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, sushi, fried fish, charcuterie, and aged cheeses. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and consider a short decant only if you want to open up its more complex aromas, though it is best enjoyed fresh and vibrant.

Producer
Bérèche & Fils is a family-owned Champagne house founded in 1847 and widely admired for its hands-on, terroir-driven approach. Based in Champagne, the producer has built a strong reputation for precise, expressive wines that highlight old vines and carefully managed parcels. This limited-release cuvée reflects the house’s artisanal philosophy and has also received high critical praise, including 93 points from Vinous.
