Champagne Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut Premier Cru “Rilly la Montagne” 2018 – Bérêche et fils

This Rilly la Montagne vintage comes from a long-standing Champagne producer located in Ludes, at the heart of the Montagne de Reims. The Maison was founded in 1847 by Léon and Albert and is now led by the fifth generation of the Bérêche family, namely the young brothers Raphael and Vincent. Supported by 10 loyal employees, the brothers carry on a long tradition of sacrifice, passion, and hard work to continue producing great wines. The main Bérêche et Fils vineyards are located in the Premier Cru of Ludes and Ormes, in the Montagne de Reims area, while others extend along the Vallée de la Marne, subdivided into parcels. The vines are cultivated responsibly and sustainably, without systemic treatments, herbicides or chemical fertilizers, fully respecting the environment and its produce. In the winery, work is likewise undertaken as traditionally as possible, avoiding filtration and favoring slow, spontaneous fermentations, using oak barrels during vinification and favoring long lees maturation.
This Blanc de Noirs is a pure Pinot Noir, from Premier Cru Les Sablons in Rilly-la-Montagne, grown on sandy-limestone soils.
Slow fermentation in wood, then remains on the lees for 36 months with natural cork stoppers. A great contemporary-style Champagne with a 3 g of sugar per liter dosage.
