2016 Campania Remensis Extra Brut Rosé, Bérêche et Fils

2016 Campania Remensis Extra Brut Rosé, Bérêche et Fils

Just 5,200 bottles were produced of this delicious rosé, which has peachy red berry, raspberry aromas, and an arrestingly taut and incisive palate. The Bérêche family own 11 hectares of vines, most of which are in the village of Ludes on the Montagne de Reims. In recent years they have gone from strength to strength, and their wines are snapped up with speed. They block malolactic fermentation so the wines have a tensile, chalky line running through them. The extended oak ageing they practice adds depth and power to the wines.

Bérêche et Fils

Bérêche was established in 1847, however it was not until 2004 when brothers Raphaël and Vincent took the helm that its reputation started to soar. The family own 11 hectares of well-situated vineyards across the Champagne region; the majority surround the village of Ludes on the Montagne de Reims, plus the Vallée de la Marne and Grand Cru vineyards in Mailly, Aÿ and Ambonnay. The key to their phenomenal success is in the detail - Vincent is in charge of the vineyards, and together with a team of 10 employees meticulously cares for the vines. His work is organic, yields are restricted and grapes are hand harvested on a plot by plot basis. In the cellar, Raphaël employs extended oak ageing and cork closures (rather than cap) to add depth and flavour. He also has a fearless desire to experiment with blending and utilising their top terroirs to add even greater complexity. Each vineyard parcel is vinified and aged individually. The ambitious brothers also created a range of Champagne they named Raphaël et Vincent Bérêche, an experiment which allowed them to showcase separate Premier and Grand Cru vineyard sites.
