Medium deep garnet, ruby core with medium light garnet rim . This is quite meaty and deep on the nose , with earthy dark cherry , porcini , sweet blackberry and spiced sous bois . On the palate this is quite severe and serious , darker fruits , ripe blackberry , cherry and hint of blackcurrant, herbal hints. Quite gritty , slightly drying tannins , fresh acidity . Earthy , dusty dark cherry edged finish , ok medium length. Quite ambitious for a village and arguably not ready yet , tannins need a little more time to integrate. From now and over the next 5 years, if not longer . — 10 months ago

2021 vintage. First go-round with this wine. Winery produces “pretty” wines and this is no different. Medium-medium heavy bod. Consistent, smooth push with dried cranberry leading the charge. No heart-stopping or scary moments. Enjoyable. 3.13.26. — 4 months ago

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 2 years ago

A charming left bank blend with a high percentage of CF for 15’. Blueberry, cassis, espresso, dried herbs, and lavender. Hint of crushed rocks too. Medium to full body. A harmonious palate with round gentle acidity, lush texture, and grainy yet polished firm elegant tannins. Lingering lightly candied finish.
Finesse and classy, yet so approachable. — 5 years ago

One of the most genuinely delightful champagnes I’ve tasted in forever. Such great vim and vigor shown here. A deep, golden color in the glass with pleasant perlage. The nose is immediately charming with an abundance of crisp green apples and roasted nuts. Mild spices with red cherries for days along with the customary bread aromas.

If pure Meunier champagnes have no fans, then I am dead. As expected, Bereche offers one of the finest expressions of the grape. Electric and alive with just the right acidity and intense minerality running throughout. Very expressive with nice depth at this early stage in its life. The palate displays more brioche and apple notes. Almonds, cherries, and a slight touch of lemon zest. One of the most interesting wines I’ve had in a while and utterly delicious. — 3 months ago
