Bereche Champagne Une Extra Brut Millesime 2015

Bérêche Champagne Une Extra Brut 2015 is a precise, characterful vintage Champagne that showcases the finesse of Chardonnay and the depth of Pinot Noir in a single, expressive cuvée. Crafted with minimal dosage, it puts purity, texture and terroir center stage, offering a style that is both vibrant and gastronomic. As one of the most sought-after grower Champagnes, this 2015 release captures the warmth and generosity of the vintage while remaining beautifully balanced and refined.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2015 Une Extra Brut shows a luminous pale gold hue with fine, persistent bubbles that form a delicate mousse. The nose is layered and complex, offering notes of ripe citrus, orchard fruits (pear, yellow apple), and white flowers, intertwined with hints of brioche, toasted hazelnut, chalky minerality and a subtle touch of spice. On the palate, the Champagne is taut yet generous, with a vivid core of lemon zest, baked apple and stone fruit supported by a distinct saline, mineral backbone. The low dosage lets the structure and precision shine, while the texture is creamy and mouthcoating from extended lees aging. A long, focused finish carries notes of citrus oil, almond and chalk. This 2015 vintage has the concentration and acidity to evolve gracefully; enjoy now for its energy and primary fruit, or cellar for 5–10 more years to develop greater complexity and tertiary nuances.

Production
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Champagne region of France, Bérêche Une Extra Brut 2015 reflects a terroir of chalk and limestone-rich soils that naturally lend tension, minerality and finesse. The Chardonnay brings lift and precision, while Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero) contributes body, structure and red-fruited nuance. Grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and sort meticulously in the vineyard. Fermentation typically takes place in a mix of tanks and neutral oak to add texture without overwhelming the fruit, followed by an extended period on the lees in bottle, allowing the wine to gain complexity and fine, integrated bubbles. Finished with an extra brut dosage, the wine is deliberately dry, highlighting the clarity of the vintage and the character of the sites.

Food & Serving
This is a highly versatile gastronomic Champagne, ideal with refined yet flavorful dishes. Try it alongside oysters, scallop crudo, turbot or sole with beurre blanc, or richer seafood like lobster with herb butter. It also pairs beautifully with poultry in cream sauces, roast guinea fowl, mushroom risotto, aged Comté or a selection of firm, nutty cheeses. Serve well-chilled but not icy, around 8–10°C (46–50°F), to allow the aromas to open. Decanting is not essential, but gently pouring into a wider white wine glass and giving it a few minutes in the glass will help reveal the full aromatic spectrum.
