Champagne, France
Bérêche & Fils
Bérêche is a small family farm in Champagne that grows its own grapes — rare in a region where most big houses buy from others. Their Brut Réserve is their entry-level bottle, blended across several harvests for consistency, and sits in a more precise, less sugary style than mainstream Champagne.
