Champagne Bereche Brut Reserve (NV)

375mL / France

Category: Sparkling
Sub-Category: Champagne

Spirit:

“A light, supple and accessible wine, best served at a temperature comprised between 8 and 10°C. You will enjoy its creamy and dense texture, typical of its full maturity. The Brut Réserve is our signature piece and has to be recognizable in any circumstances. We chose a balanced dosage of 9 grams/liter in order to keep a ripe and bitter finish that matches the Champagne Terroir”.
