Brothers Raphaël and Vincent have helped transform the domaine into one of Champagne’s most lauded houses. Since they have been ploughing the soil for over 20 years, malolactic fermentation never starts in their cellars in Ludes, in Montagne de Reims. Thus, the champagnes retain their bright acidity. Raphaël and Vincent work masterfully with oak so that it never overpowers their terroir-first approach.

Raphaël believes that when you work in a great terroir with healthy vines and pick ripe grapes, nature is the true master. He trusts the soil more than himself.

The Bérêche brothers age their premier cru and grand cru champagnes in the bottle under regular cork instead of a widely used crown cap, which adds to the wine’s complexity.

The top champagnes include highly revered cuvées like le cran, reflet d’antan, campania remensis rosé, ambonnay and mailly-champagne. for the first time, les beaux regards, one of the region’s most coveted blanc de blancs, is available in magnum format, offering more complexity while preserving its youthful freshness in coming years.
