It is 100% Pinot Meunier from two lieux-dits on the left bank of the Vallee de la Marne at Mareuil-le-Port, where low-yielding vines around forty-five years old sit on a north-facing slope of clay, sand and limestone: cool exposure, poor soil, small crops. The Bereche brothers ferment and age it in 350- and 600-liter barrels, block malolactic fermentation, give it roughly three years in bottle under cork and finish it extra brut, which pulls Meunier's natural roundness tight. 2022 was a warm, sunny Champagne vintage rescued from drought by well-timed August rain, conditions that suit a north-facing site like this one. Expect orchard and stone fruit with real soil-driven depth rather than the simple fruitiness Meunier gets accused of.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sussex [SUX]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46325779497017,"sku":"NYC-SUX-`BER00422`-081426-3","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bereche-et-Fils-Champagne-Vallee-de-la-Marne-Rive-Gauche-2022-Sparkling-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1787150506","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/bereche-et-fils-champagne-vallee-de-la-marne-rive-gauche-2022-750ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
