Champagne Bérêche et Fils Le Cran 2014 Extra Brut

The Champagne Bérêche et Fils Le Cran 2014 Extra Brut is an exceptional vintage champagne that embodies the essence of the Ludes Premier Cru terroir in the Montagne de Reims. Produced by the historic family-run Bérêche et Fils, founded in 1847 and now led by Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche, this champagne showcases the house’s dedication to complexity, innovation, and terroir-driven winemaking. Their nine hectares of vineyards are farmed using environmentally friendly and biodynamic methods.

Le Cran 2014 is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from carefully selected limestone-rich parcels, contributing to the wine’s unique minerality and structure. Fermented in oak barrels and aged on the lees for several years, this champagne offers an extraordinary depth and refinement.

This champagne has a bright, pale golden color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose reveals expressive and complex aromas of white fruits such as peach and pear, complemented by floral notes and a hint of citrus. The lees aging imparts brioche, toasted bread, and a subtle roasted hazelnut character.

On the palate, Le Cran 2014 is rich yet fresh, with a lively acidity that enhances the fruit aromas and delivers a crisp, refreshing sensation. The texture is creamy with impressive density, and the flavors of ripe fruit, brioche, and hazelnut blend harmoniously with a refined minerality and a touch of spice. The finish is long, clean, and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of freshness.
