100% old-vine Pinot Meunier sourced from the lieu-dit Le Misy, located in Port à Binson on the southern bank of the Marne river. Fermented with native yeasts in barrel and aged under cork, Bérêche's Rive Gauche makes a convincing case for Champagnes made from the oft-underestimated Pinot Meunier grape. The nose offers notes of spice, earth, and a hint of dried fruit. With some time in the cellar, the effusiveness of the fruit should integrate with the structure and make for even more compelling drinking.

Wine Advocate:

"Originating from a north-facing site of old Pinot Meunier vines in Mareuil-de-Port, planted in 1969, and disgorged in November 2025 with a dosage of 3.5 grams per liter, the 2022 Blanc de Noirs Rive Gauche wafts from the glass with aromas of peach, pear and dried flowers mingled with notes of blanched almonds and freshly baked bread. Medium- to full-bodied, ample and textural, it is built around a fleshy core of fruit, animated by tangy acidity and concludes with a saline finish where subtle bitter phenolics assert themselves. Harvested on August 31, it exhibits the generosity of a sunny growing season."
