Among the most extraordinary expressions in the entire Bérêche portfolio, this Mailly-Champagne Grand Cru Millésime is sourced from a magnificent parcel acquired in 2011, situated just outside the village on the road toward Verzenay — so close, in fact, that it borders the Verzenay vineyards themselves. The vines are old and yield small, concentrated grapes of remarkable identity, their deep, slightly reddish clay soil imparting a distinctive character that sets this cuvée apart. The Pinot Fin — an ancient biotype of Pinot Noir prized for its exquisite delicacy — reveals itself in every sip: complex, precise, and built for the table rather than the aperitif. Disgorged July 2025 at just 3 grams per liter dosage.
Critical Review
“The 2020 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs Mailly-Champagne Grand Cru is a total stunner. Ample and explosive, with palpable vertical energy, the Mailly-Champagne has it all. The 2020 possesses superb textural depth, refined contours and vertical explosiveness that is hard to fully describe in words. Cranberry, chalk, mint, white pepper, slate and dried herbs soar across the palate. The 2020 boasts mind-blowing purity and class to burn. I would be thrilled to own it.” — 97 pts, Vinous
