WINE DESCRIPTION
Experience the Montagne de Reims through the excellence of Bérêche & Fils Le Cran Ludes Champagne Premier Cru. This sparkling Blanc is an exquisite fusion of 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir grapes. Committing to organic practices for over 15 years, it emerges from the sustainably nurtured vineyards of Ludes. This magical creation blossoms within 45-year-old vines residing in the premier cru village of Ludes. Here, two distinct sun exposures and grape varieties unite at identical altitudes. Lieu-dit Les Hautes Plantes, planted in 1969, bathes in western sun, while Lieu-dit Les Vignes Saint Jean, established in 1973, embraces the gentle touch of eastern rays. These unique components harmonize at elevations ranging from 190 to 220 meters on the Cran de Ludes, encompassing a vineyard area of 0.52 hectares. The mineral-rich chalk-limestone soil infuses this remarkable Champagne Blanc with character and depth.
