Bérèche Ay Grand Cru 2017 is a single-vineyard Champagne sourced from the renowned Grand Cru village of Aÿ. Crafted by brothers Vincent and Raphaël Bérèche, this vintage reflects their commitment to organic viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques. The blend predominantly features Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay, sourced from 60-year-old vines that offer concentrated character. The wine presents a structured palate with savoury notes of brioche, apple and hints of almond. Aged for a minimum of 36 months, the tension of acidity and subtle minerality is evident, making it a precise representation of its terroir in Aÿ.

Crafting Sparkling Elegance

Bérèche et Fils has a long history in Reims, having been established in Craon de Ludes in 1847. However it was not until brothers Vincent and Raphaël Bérêche took over the management of the house in 2004 that its reputation began to soar. Their dedicated and at times innovative work has ensured that Champagne Bérêche is one of the most talked about grower-producers in the region.

Vincent and Raphaël source exclusively organically farmed fruit mainly from their home terroir in the 1er Cru Ludes, along with Ormes (Petite Montagne) and Mareuil-le-Port (Vallée de la Marne), as well as isolated parcels in Trépail, Rilly-la-Montagne, and Chigny-les-Roses, and the Grand Crus of Mailly, Ambonnay and Aÿ. From a total of 20 parcels the brothers produce a total of nine Champagnes and one still Coteaux Champenois.

Grapes are hand harvested on a plot by plot basis and each vineyard parcel is vinified and aged individually. In the cellar, extended oak ageing and cork closures are employed to add depth and flavour to the wines. The house style is complex, concentrated and textured, yet with a precision and laser focus. In 2013, the brothers also launched a mini-project (now ended) called Raphaël & Vincent Bérêche Crus Sélectionnés, through which they bought wines from top 1er and Grand Cru growers and experimented with extended ageing 'sur lattes’.
