A clear and precise expression of the "Les Tourets" parcel in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay.

The great grower Champagnes that excite Champagne lovers these days tend to fall into a certain category, with low dosage, low sulphur, and a decidedly edgy vibe. We love them. But one grower has managed to gain worldwide fame—not to mention a cult-like obsession here in the U.S.—without going in that direction: Bérêche & Fils.

On paper, at least, everything about Bérêche is classical. This starts with history, as this is a domaine that was founded just before the U.S. Civil War. It continues with land. They don't farm some obscure corner of Champagne, but in its historic heart, with plots scattered around the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne.

Traditional and classical, perhaps, and yet something sets it apart: sheer excellence. Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche's intense focus on high quality farming and precise work in the cellar is exactly the sort of hard work that was too often missing from the pre-grower Grand Marques. And it results in wines that people—no matter how geeky their Champagne tastes—just love.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2018 Extra-Brut Ambonnay Grand Cru (from Les Feucheres) is terrific. Airy and light on its feet, the 2018 offers an especially refined side of Ambonnay that I find quite appealing. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, chalk, white pepper, cranberry and blood orange are all beautifully lifted. Ambonnay is usually about power, but this rendition is pure finesse. What a delight." -Vinous
