Béreche et Fils is a family maison founded in 1847 by Lèon and Albert. Today the company sees the two brothers Raphael and Vincent engaged, generations later, who continue the project together with 10 collaborators. The company is located in Ludes, on the Montagne de Reims, and has some vineyards in the areas classified as Premier Cru, while other vineyards reach as far as the Vallée de la Marne. Despite being a historic champagne family business, since about 2004, when Raphael officially joined the team, the company has undergone a profound change which mostly involved the way of working the vineyards. Bereche cultivates strictly according to the dictates of organic farming and in respect of the environment chemical treatments are avoided; the fermentations are mostly spontaneous and controlled to the lowest possible level. Often the circulations are made with cork stoppers in order to obtain a “controlled” oxidation of the champagne. In short, everything is aimed at creating unique champagnes of high quality and finesse but which at the same time tell the “ancestral” taste of this region.
