93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The NV Brut Réserve Magnum (base 2020) is bright and beautifully focused right out of the gate. As always, the base wine for the magnum is one year behind the 750ml bottles. That extra time on the lees is one of the reasons why the magnum is often exceptional – it is again this year. Citrus, crushed rocks and white flowers are some of the many nuances that build over time. I especially admire the energy and overall tension here. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2023. Drink: 2024-2034. (Mar 2024)"

93 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(2020 base vintage; disgorged March 2023; tasted in 2023 in France). The current Brut Réserve is an exemplar of the succulent, glowing generosity of the ripe fruit mandate of Bérêche, with the creamy texture of barrel fermentation and lees age drawing out a long and complex finish. The flagship of Bérêche finds a new level of spicy exoticism in 2020, filled with layers of ripe stone fruits of all kinds, blood orange and layers of spice. It's at once fleshy and zesty, with saline minerality drawing out a long finish. (Edition VII; 2024)"

92 points/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "Dynamic, vinous and driven with great precision of flavor, the Brut Réserve is one of the most ambitious in its category. (2023)"

Importer notes: "The range begins with the Brut Réserve, a blend of 70% wines from the base year with the balance reserve wines, composed from approximately one-third each of the three major varieties. A model of harmony, nuance and verve, it is a pure expression of the domaine’s varied terroirs that demonstrates both the Bérêche brother’s great skill and their originality."
