Anyone familiar with a Champagne producer named Bereche?

[Howard Cooper]

I a couple of wines from them recently, a Reserve Extra Brut and a Les Beaux Regards Chardonnay Brut Nature. The wines were from the 2006 vintage, but were not technically vintage Champagnes. I was very impressed by both wines.

Howard,

A really, really good producer from Craon-de-Ludes (right as you start to go up the Montagne de Reims from the Reims side). I think they are currently on fire right now across their range. Just about everything they make is top of the class with the Reflet d'Antan my personal favorite. They have a great mix of very terroir focused wines a few more traditional blends. Both of the cuvees you tried were non-dosage and very nice and expressive examples of that style. The Beaux Regards is a pure vintage though the Extra Brut is a blend based a specific vintage. Shoot me an email and I can send you more info on them that I have publilshed. Bereche is a personal favorite producer and they represent the potential that the younger generation has in Champagne - especially when they work hand in hand with the older guard.
