Description
Type of wine
The Pauline Collin Bereche Champagne 1er Cru Montagne De Reims Ludes Vieilles Vignes by Pauline Collin Bereche is a structured and complex Extra Brut. This historic French wine from the Champagne appellation is born from a careful blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and the rare Petit Meslier grape variety. Crafted according to the principles of the Traditional Method, it is distinguished by a fragrant aromatic profile and a fresh palate with marked persistence. Prolonged ageing in the bottle gives this Extra Brut a fine perlage, making it a faithful expression of its prestigious terroir of origin.
Where it comes from
The Champagne comes to life in the renowned territory of Ludes, a village classified as Premier Cru within the prestigious Montagne de Reims area. One of the fundamental characteristics of this production is that the grapes come from historic old vines over forty years old, an agricultural heritage that bestows exceptional depth to the final result.
How it is produced
The winemaking process is based on the Traditional Method technique, essential for the development of aromatic complexity. After the harvest and the first fermentation, the base wines are blended and bottled to begin the second fermentation. This is followed by long and meticulous ageing on the lees, a fundamental step to enrich the gustatory structure and provide the typical aromas of bread crust. This prolonged rest ensures the creation of an extremely fine and elegant perlage, defining the clean and well-structured character of the final product.
History and curiosities
The Pauline Collin Bérèche originates from a deep-rooted artisanal tradition in the renowned area of Ludes, classified as a Premier Cru in the prestigious Montagne de Reims. The charm of this Champagne lies in its old vines of over forty years, witnesses to the long local viticultural heritage. The composition holds a true peculiarity, pairing the classic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a touch of the rare Petit Meslier grape variety. This historic excellence has received significant critical acclaim internationally, with prestigious scores from Robert Parker and Vinous.
