Champagne Bérèche & Fils Rosé Campania Remensis 2019
Montagne de Reims, Champagne, FranceCreated in 1847, Champagne Bérèche et Fils is a grower with 9.5 biodynamically farmed hectares of vineyards, predominantly situated in Montagne des Reims. Brothers Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche are the current generation running the family estate. Terroir-focused, they farm without herbicides, and all wines undergo tirer à liege, where the second fermentation takes place under cork rather than capsule. Campania Rememsis is the first name given by the Romans to the land around Reims. This rosé blends 75% pinot noir, 20% chardonnay, and 5% still red pinot from Ormes, in the Petite Montagne de Reims. This was native fermented in older wood, with no MLF, before heading to bottle for 36+ months sur lattes, under agrafe. This bottle was disgorged in early 2023 with 3 g/L. Pouring a subtle crimson hue, this streams ample white cherry, raspberry meringue, wild strawberry, bright lemon peel, and bergamot along its finessed, lengthy frame, finishing with lingering chalky salinity. So very complete, this feels incredibly detailed and entirely effortless, which makes it all the more impressive. Such a stunner, sip after sip.Tasted: 01 December 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:QC | $125.00 | 750ml | SAQ |
