The Pinot meunière here is a give away to what this is! It’s a fun champagne not as elegant as say Pierre Moncuit or Gimminet but not as heavy as Selosse or even Pol Roger. Went brilliantly with some spicy meats, and a mixture of Greek and Indian food! — 6 years ago

It can be difficult for me to identify the flavors in wine, but the pinot noir in this wine expressed beautiful fruit on the nose and palate, but slightly higher acidity which (to me) clashed ever so slightly with the taste. Don't mistake me though, this wine is excellent and is very well done — 3 years ago
This was a stunner from the start. If I could afford to start each day the way Churchill did, the Jacquesson 7xx series would be my Pol Roger. This stuff is so consistently what I want in a Champer. It is aromatic. It’s got layers of flavor. It’s got body. It’s got verve. Yeah baby. — 6 years ago
Watching football and drinking champs with KFC. Bereche is the bomb. I love opening it and waiting and hour or two to drink it, to let it balance out. I like to wait on all champagnes especially Bereche. After getting some air, you get such a nice mix of tart and sweet, like hard candy (Green apple jolly ranchers?), but you get the sophistication of a traditional 3 grape blend with a decent amount of reserve, plus some funkiness from all the naturalness of the process that they use to make it. It is a really smart wine that offers something for everyone without sacrificing anything or making compromises. I like this a lot more than a 9, but I have to save some digits for the Emidio Pepe '85s or the Pol Roger Winston Churchill '88s of the world. If you look at my scores, you see a lot of 9s but that's because I rarely write about wine I don't like. I don't want to be one of those yelpers who only bitch, especially when I know how much sacrifice goes into making great wine. I want to celebrate the Bereches of the world who go that extra mile to touch greatness, even though wine economics resist it. — 8 years ago

Love an all Meunier champagne. In a beautiful spot at 10 years. Vinous, powerful, textural finesse, slightly oxidative, lots of red apple, ginger and spice — 14 days ago
