FEATURES
The Bérêche et Fils Campania Remensis 2020 is an exquisite Extra Brut Rosé Champagne, a testament to the family's dedication to terroir expression from their sustainably run vineyards in Montagne de Reims. This grower Champagne, named after the Roman term for the Reims countryside, hails from the single terroir of Ormes, west of Reims. It's a blend predominantly of Pinot Noir, with Chardonnay and a small percentage of still red wine for colour, aged for 36 months on lees and hand-disgorged after secondary fermentation under natural cork. Antonio Galloni praises Bérêche for a significant leap in quality and consistency, noting their wines have never been better.
【Rarity and high demand, often sold via allocation to long-standing customers and Michelin-starred restaurants】.
Tasting notes reveal a vibrant and persistent character, with rich flavours of red berries, crushed petals, tobacco, and sweet spices, beautifully complemented by mineral notes. Expect nuances of white pepper, mint, and cranberry, leading to a silky, elegant, and charming palate. Some tasters note a blazing acidity and lean profile with citrus and underripe strawberry/raspberry, suggesting potential for further softening with age, while others find impressive depth of berry flavours and excellent balance. The colour is often described as a modern salmon or coppery hue.
🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile Rosé Champagne pairs wonderfully with rich terrines, roasted birds like pheasant or chicken, foie gras, lobster, and fish with delicate sauces. It's also an excellent match for pork, shellfish, rich fish such as salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses.
🥂 Event Suggestions: Ideal for sophisticated celebrations, fine dining experiences, or as a thoughtful gift. Its complexity and structure make it suitable for accompanying a meal, rather than just a celebratory toast, and its contemplative nature invites appreciation at intimate gatherings.
