Bérèche et Fils Rive Gauche Extra Brut Champagne

Vallée de la Marne, Champagne, France

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Meunier

The Rive Gauche is expressive and vinous, with aromas of ripe pear, citrus peel, baked apple, white flowers, and toasted almond. On the palate it is broad and fleshy but sharply focused, with fine bubbles, savory pastry notes, and a distinctive chalky mineral drive. The finish is long, saline, and incisive, with the richness of Pinot Meunier balanced by bright acidity and a dry Extra Brut profile.
