The 54-year-old vines (planted in 1969) are rooted in clay-marl soils with fossilised seashells on north-facing slopes, yielding low quantities that deliver remarkable textural complexity. Vinified with native yeasts in 350 and 600-litre barrels, then aged for three years in bottle under cork, this makes a convincing case for the oft-underestimated Meunier grape, with just 4,386 bottles produced. The 2020 is exquisite – subtle, nuanced, and all class with a salmon-pink hue and incredibly refined mousse. Pear, mint, spice, dried herbs, plum, and kirsch grace the palate alongside rich aromas of orchard and stone fruit, with soil-driven depth balanced by citrusy freshness. The finish is saline with thirst-quenching bitterness that's enchanting. Disgorged November 2023 with a dosage of just 2g\/l, there are few Meuniers out there this elegant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bérêche \u0026 Fils","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55982297383292,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8980\/8095\/files\/BerecheFilsRiveGaucheFront.png?v=1764100439","url":"https:\/\/prostwines.com\/products\/bereche-fils-rive-gauche","provider":"Prost Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
