The Go-To Non-Vintage Champagne:
Bereche Brut Reserve (2021) NV

Posted by Ian McFadden

Bérèche is one of our favorite producers in all of Champagne.

Everything that he turns out is shockingly good. However, the value that the Brut Reserve offers is amazing. It's our go-to Champagne.

Raphaël Bérèche joined his family's domaine around a decade ago and swiftly established himself as one of the region's most talented young growers. In short, the style here is deeply complex and vinous with ultra-clear precision and outrageous clarity.

The Brut Reserve dramatizes the incredibly high level of Bérèche's work. While it's easy to focus on the layered complexity and overall intensity of the Brut Reserve, it's the incredible refinement that makes it stand out, a quality that is especially present in the 2021Bérèche's Brut Reserve offers up plenty of mineral notes that form the backdrop of the silken and suavely textured presentation. There's a wide spectrum of stone fruits, spice, and bright floral notes.

One of the greatest testaments to the seriousness of Bérèche's Brut Reserve is how well it ages. Antonio Galloni talks of tasting a vertical of ten different releases a few years ago, and they all aged beautifully. You’ll want this around in ample quantities, but because it's worth holding on to for five years or more. With a few years of bottle age, Bérèche's Brut Reserve blossoms, gaining even more complexity and a tactile minerality.

Simply put, the value the Brut Reserve offers is astonishing. We can't think of another non-vintage Champagne that offers so much at this price.
