Just starting to explore Bereche wines. What a great place to start with the Reflet d'Antan ! (Disgorged April 2016, 12% abv)
Pop n pour (actually sabre'd and poured). Intriguing aromatics of orange peel, brioche and toasted nut. Fine mousse gives way to a palate reflecting a beautiful melange of pear, citrus and white blossom, with chalk and mineral underpinnings. Unfolded wonderfully, gaining complexity. Very popular wine at the table this evening. I liked this more than a recent Egly-Ouriet VP we had (which was a bit sharp and needed more cellar time).
A old school solera style wine, imbued with great character. Comprised of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay. Paired beautifully with a decadently rich Duck Egg en Cocotte followed by Tagliatelle garnished with Alba truffles.
Highly recommended.
