Description
Pauline Bérêche has taken the reins of her family’s estate and is steadily bringing it into the spotlight. Blessed with a suite of old vines in the village of Ludes, her first release was the 2016 vintage under her eponymous label. Pauline has converted the vineyards to organic farming allowing natural grasses to grow freely between the vines. Her wines are 100% Pinot Noir, from vines older than forty years, and aged for over 4 years on lees. Production has started small: only 1,996 bottles were produced for her inaugural vintage, and a miniscule 1,000 bottles for her second release, 2018.
Pauline is married to Raphaël Bérêche, of Bérêche et Fils, and if her early releases are any indication, she is poised to become a leading figure in the Montagne de Reims, a worthy challenger to her husband’s legacy.
