Description
What kind of wine it is
The Champagne 1er Cru Extra Brut Le Cran by Bérèche is a refined sparkling wine made using the Traditional Method, harmoniously blending Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the glass, it displays a bright golden yellow hue, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is broad and floral, enriched with intriguing herbal notes and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it reveals a creamy and complex character, perfectly balanced by pronounced freshness and rich citrus notes that define its structure and depth.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of the Champagne region, specifically in Le Craon de Ludes, France. Its Premier Cru status highlights the terroir of the commune of Ludes, historically renowned for producing high-quality grapes. The vines are rooted in a unique ecosystem situated between the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, giving the wine a distinct geographical identity. This specific origin imparts a structured profile to the sip, where the gustatory tension naturally integrates with aromatic richness.
How it is produced
Production strictly follows the principles of the Traditional Method, with a slow secondary fermentation that ensures an enveloping texture. The Extra Brut dosage guarantees a dry and vibrant expression, enhancing the intrinsic qualities of the grapes. Its natural tension gives way to a pleasant freshness, ideal for enhancing the flavours at the table. Thanks to its inherent creaminess, it pairs superbly with sushi and shellfish, and also complements fried fish dishes and the delicate textures of soft cheeses perfectly.
History and Curiosities
The Bérêche Le Cran 2018 highlights the excellence of the Ludes terroir. Crafted using the traditional method, this Champagne combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in an Extra Brut with timeless appeal. The prestige of the Premier Cru classification is reflected in a limited production of just 4,200 bottles, offering a rare and exclusive tasting experience. The label celebrates the history of the Maison with an elegant regional map illustrating the most renowned areas of the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne.
