FEATURES
The Bérêche et Fils Reflet d'Antan Brut, with a base of the 2017 harvest, is a non-vintage Champagne that embodies a unique solera-style blend, incorporating 35% reserve wines, some dating back to 1982. This cuvée is a testament to the fusion of Jura wine traditions and the Bérêche family's distinctive winemaking philosophy. Brothers Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche have elevated their estate to a benchmark in Champagne, focusing on traditional techniques. Notably, this exceptional wine is now exclusively bottled in magnum.
This creamy sparkling wine offers complex aromas of nuts, hints of honey, and mineral notes, alongside citrus oil, warm pastry, peach, apple skin, fenugreek, spices, tangerine peel, mint, apricot, lemon confit, chamomile, and passion fruit. Further layers reveal fruit confits, nougat, génoise, forest floor, and various spices. The palate is powerful, unctuous, and voluminous, characterized by well-integrated bubbles, a defined acidity, and a long finish with chalky bitterness and saline notes. It's a rich and generous Champagne, with a concentrated core of fruit underpinned by racy acids.
This versatile Champagne pairs beautifully with white fish, spicy dishes, seafood, shellfish, crab, and lobster.
