Dark rubi robe, nose of Cedarwood, plums, dark berries, and a touch of baked spices. Very fresh and balanced, mature tannins that softened over 25 years. Wine is medium bodied with good length and ready to drink but no rush at all. One of the finest rive gauche wines we know and thats an excellent vintage. — 24 days ago

Determined too gauche to ask for the bottle shot but not too gauche to perhaps be mistaken for transit Instagram activity. Oh well. Beautiful Pinot balance with a delicate floral / strawberry combo without too much dosage. 2004 is starting to be my go to 2000s and honestly for champs may prefer to 1990 garden variety at this point. — 4 years ago

I really enjoyed this wine. It’s massive — 16.0% — but not gauche. It’s smooth, low tannin even though young, it is fruity up front but surprisingly dry in the back. It’s wild, with intense flavors (pepper? Even though it’s mourvedre?), lower residual sugar than I expected. The winery recommends the bottle to be upright for a week followed by a 3-4 hour decant. I honored the decant but not the upright. I used a filter but the sediment seemed extremely low. Delightful. $250. — 4 years ago

Fermé à l’ouverture mais se révèle ensuite de façon magistrale, puissant et racé, très typé rive gauche, un vrai délice. 93-94

Closed when opened ( pop and Pour) but reveals itself after with such grace and power, very left bank, great potential and great bottle. — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, blackcurrant, blackberries, licorice, some cedar and a touch of graphite, very typical left bank aromas to go with a lush and velvety palate, rich and elegant, structured and balanced, good length, really good 2008 LB. 93-94

Très rive gauche au nez, cassis, cèdre, graphite, de la violette aussi et réglisse. Une bouche riche et généreuse, puissante et élégante, beaucoup de classe et un équilibre exemplaire avec une excellente finale, très beau 2008. 93-94 — 5 years ago

Noticeable 2020 wildfire smoke flavour. Even so, enjoyable crisp flavours, French oak, pomegranate, cherry chloraseptic without the cherry or the phenolic taste, if that makes sense. — 8 months ago

One of the most genuinely delightful champagnes I’ve tasted in forever. Such great vim and vigor shown here. A deep, golden color in the glass with pleasant perlage. The nose is immediately charming with an abundance of crisp green apples and roasted nuts. Mild spices with red cherries for days along with the customary bread aromas.

If pure Meunier champagnes have no fans, then I am dead. As expected, Bereche offers one of the finest expressions of the grape. Electric and alive with just the right acidity and intense minerality running throughout. Very expressive with nice depth at this early stage in its life. The palate displays more brioche and apple notes. Almonds, cherries, and a slight touch of lemon zest. One of the most interesting wines I’ve had in a while and utterly delicious. — 3 months ago

Very pretty. Harmonious. Elegant. Honeycomb, lanolin, preserved lemon, licorice root. Less acidic and more round than the 2016. Lovely. — 4 years ago

Le nez prend un peu de temps à se placer, nez assez classique de rive-gauche par la suite, ne montre aucune fatigue, superbe texture, une finale longue et savoureuse, très beau. 92-93

The nose needs some air, the cork was wet with some aromas of wet cardboard at first but things got for the better after with no apparent defect and a classic left bank nose. Gorgeous balanced Cos, not the most powerful at this point but gracious, showing no fatigue also with a long delicious finish.

Very peculiar nose (I would never have placed it in medoc) with red fruits, a bit of toast, almond, tobacco. I would have placed it in Italy blind, wow! The palate is very well made but again nothing like something you would expect from a rive gauche wine. It's rather thin and very much acid driven, you could almost chew it. Raspberries, red currant, before a mid palate with a nice tannins layer that dries up with a dusty touch. Nice finish with the same red berries and that drying effect. Unexpected Bordeaux in a very nice style. You cannot feel the barrel aging at all, I like it very much — 5 years ago
