It combines the three classic Champagne grapes – Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier in roughly equal proportions – from vintages spanning the decade. The blend is based on 70% wines from the base year with a balance of reserve wines. A model of harmony, nuance and verve, it is always a pure expression of the domaine’s varied terroirs that demonstrates both the Bérêche brother’s great skill and their originality. Each \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eparcel of vines is vinified and aged separately in barrel with its ambient yeasts. To balance their richness and depth with bright acidity, Raphaël and Vincent make certain that the wines do not go through malolactic, and each bottle is later disgorged by hand and minimally dosed to preserve the purity of its expression.The 2020 blend shows plenty of taut stone fruit, orange citrus, and a strong stony minerality, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003esavory-leaning yet light on its feet. On the dry end for a Brut without being austere, it's rife with notes of dried pear and yellow apple, hazelnut, spice, and dried flowers that build into the voluptuous, resonant finish. A crowd-pleasing way to start any night, and a now benchmark example of the grower Champagne ethos and profile. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s been nearly two decades since growers began to dominate the headlines in Champagne. Yet, over that period, surprisingly few growers have managed to separate themselves from the pack, by virtue of their genius or their gift for making Champagne of unique expressiveness. Two that have are the brothers Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis old domaine was founded in 1847, but it has been the innovative work of young Raphaël and Vincent that has made this one of the most talked about Champagne houses, first among France’s sommeliers, cavistes and connoisseurs and now their counterparts in the United States. Building on a strong foundation of traditional Champagne making learned from their father Jean-Pierre, the brothers became two of the region’s most insatiably curious vignerons. To that end, their portfolio not only includes an extraordinarily vibrant NV Brut Réserve, but several micro-cuvées brilliantly conceived to express different aspects of terroir, vintage, and grape variety. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eespite only having 9 hectares of land, Bérêche has 10 full-time employees tending the vines.

'Les Beaux Regards' comes from 2 extraordinary Premier Cru Chardonnay plots (one with 100-year-old vines) in the Montagne de Reims.

These are the lieux-dits Les Beauxregards, planted in 1902 by their great- grandfather, and Les Clos, planted in 1970 by massale sélection. These ancient vines give Les Beaux Regards its deep concentration and intensely chalky minerality.
