Champagne aficionados need no introduction to Bérêche. In our opinion, he is the premier grower/producer in all of Champagne, and his wines are nearly impossible to find; likely the only places most people see the higher end cuvées are at restaurants. The champagnes need no hype, they are everything they claim to be, and an opportunity to add ANY of these bottles to a collection should never, ever be missed.
