About The Producer
Vincent and Raphaël, along with a team of professionals, are working rigorously and passionately on 11.5ha of vines.
For 5 generations now, they have worked hand in hand with their team to offer Champagnes that are as consistent and fair as possible.
Every action has been adequately thought out. Of course our land is plowed and we also use weed control to limit disease. This vegetation cover avoids herbicides, insecticides and anti-rots.
Everything begins with the soil. The fertilization is organic. We feed wildlife which in turn feeds flora and thus the soil is working.
Our team of winemakers always prune and maintain the vineyards with high sensitivity. They respect the personality of each vine.
All our interventions during the growing season are based on disease tolerance. No treatment is systematic. We adjust dosage to the vine with the best agricultural technologies. Moreover effluents is never released and each waste is reprocessed.
As a result the House Bérêche has one of the lowest treatment frequency index in the Champagne region. It is also among the first to be certified High Environmental Quality (level 3).

Tasting Notes
On the palate, Cramant & Avize 2020 reveals a luminous and vertical profile, with aromas of ripe citrus, white flowers, fresh almond, and subtle chalky nuances. The structure is finely chiseled and dynamic, marked by a saline thread that drives the progression with continuity. The texture is compact yet poised, freshness seamlessly integrated, and the finish long, pure, and refined.
96 Points - Vinous
This dynamic estate was established in 1847 but it is the arrival of brothers Raphael and Vincent that has transformed the house. There are 11ha of old vines around Ludes in the Montagne de Reims. Organic principles are used in the vineyard with extended ageing in oak and on cork adding to the depth of the wines. Sophisticated and complex, with a creamy texture and toasty notes, peach and apple fruit, purity of flavour and crisp acidity to balance. Disgorged in November 2024, with a dosage of 5.2g/L. Alcohol 12.5%. Drinking Window: 2025-2030. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
