Bérêche & Fils Brut Mailly-Champagne Grand Cru 2013

94+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The inaugural release this new cuvée for Bérêche, the 2013 Grand Cru Mailly-Champagne is showing superbly, bursting from the glass with aromas of Meyer lemon, dried white flowers, orange rind, honeycomb and subtle hints of coniferous forest. Medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive, this is searingly intense, girdled by brisk acids and concluding with a chalky finish. This derives from a site characterized by deep clay soils over chalk bedrock. Drink: 2022-2040. (Apr 2020)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Here in its first commercial release, the 2013 Mailly-Champagne is 100% Pinot Noir vinified and aged in oak and aged on cork. The pedigree of the vintage marries perfectly with the personality of this north-facing site to yield a stunning, weightless Champagne that exudes focus, energy and intensity. Bright and finely cut, the 2013 dazzles from the very first taste. Wow! Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: December, 2018. Drink: 2021-2033. (Jul 2019)"
