Made entirely from \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it reveals itself in the glass with a pale straw yellow hue. The bouquet offers delicate notes of hawthorn, supported by a pronounced mineral structure. On the palate, it stands out for its pure and structured sip, enhanced by a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003echalky finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ideally served chilled, it pairs beautifully with shellfish, sushi, and soft cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in France, in the \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e villages of Cramant and Avize, within the Champagne region. The vineyards are situated at around one hundred and ninety metres above sea level, on soils composed of clay-limestone with deep \u003cstrong\u003echalk outcrops\u003c\/strong\u003e. This geological matrix imparts a distinctive mineral character to the sparkling wine. Bereche manages the vineyards according to strict \u003cstrong\u003eHigh Environmental Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e standards, practising ploughing and natural grassing to avoid the use of chemical herbicides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is it produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification follows the principles of the Traditional Method, beginning with a \u003cstrong\u003eslow fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e of the must in oak barrels. The Champagne then undergoes \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for fifty-four months in the cellar, which is essential for defining its aromatic precision. This meticulous process results in a refined \u003cstrong\u003elimited production\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by a low dosage that fully enhances its marked freshness and persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1847, Maison Bérèche has passed down a deep devotion to its land through generations. This excellent expression of \u003cstrong\u003epure Chardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e, born in the prestigious terroirs of Cramant and Avize, represents a true rarity from the 2020 vintage, produced in only 2,700 bottles. The slow fermentation in barrique and the meticulous \u003cstrong\u003e54-month maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e on the lees give this vintage an enchanting complexity. Awarded 93 points by Vinous, this sought-after \u003cstrong\u003eExtra Brut\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies eco-sustainable elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bereche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46213699076267,"sku":"60432","price":199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bereche-champagne-grand-cru-cramant-extra-brut-2020_60432_1_f213e812-1a78-4f4a-bb6b-b188ac4d84dc.webp?v=1773811531","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-nl\/products\/bereche-champagne-grand-cru-cramant-avize-extra-brut-2020","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
