Jean-Pierre Bérêche was one of the first growers to establish an independent reputation, and his sons Raphaël and Vincent have built on that work to craft some of today’s most distinctive Champagnes. With roughly equal plantings of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier spread over multiple villages, the brothers have an incredible diversity of sources within their ~10 hectares. All Champagne base wines - except for part of the Brut Réserve - are fermented and aged in neutral wood. The brothers use no artificial fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides in the vineyards. They plow the soil and then allow a cover crop to control vigor and to limit disease pressure.
