Notes : Gault Millau 15,5/20, RVF 14/20
« Une Maîtrise parfaite de la maturité et du dosage confèrent à cette bouteille un caractère élégant. Une approche minérale et très fine au nez ; et une bouche qui conserve le même esprit, sur une bulle délicate et finement ouatée. » (Le Guide des Vins 2011 - Gault Millau). Véritable carte de visite du domaine, le Brut Réserve reflète parfait esprit du brut sans année, accessible et que l'on aime ouvrir en toutes circonstances. A la fois vif, souple, sans lourdeur, crémeux et gourmand à souhait, on apprécie son dosage très léger (9 gr/l) qui lui confère une très jolie finale. A découvrir !

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Domaine rated (2012 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production)
About the domain :
"The Bérèche family are attached to the knowledge of their "fathers" (no chemical weedkillers, ploughing...) but they don't hesitate to challenge themselves. Raphaël, Vincent and their parents strive to be faithful to what their 9 hectares of vines offer them, located for the most part on the Montagne de Reims and in the Marne valley.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2011 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
"Regularly singled out in our tastings over the past four years, this estate in the north-western Montagne de Reims stands out first and foremost for its respect for the grapes, which logically leads to parcel-based selections and vinifications. Although he has not gone organic, Raphaël Bérèche abandoned chemical weeding in 2004. He perpetuates the barrel and demi-muid ageing methods initiated by his father Jean-Pierre, who brought out his first woody cuvée (Reflet d'Antan) twenty years ago. On a terroir dominated by Pinot Noir and Meunier, naturally solid in expression, the quest for maturity is never at the expense of tension on the palate. Dosages are light, or even non-existent (cuvée Zéro).
