Producer: Bereche et Fils 
Region: Champagne, France 
Blend: Champagne Blend 
Year: Non-Vintage 

Vinous, 95 Points 

"The NV Reflet d’Antan, base 2017, is outrageously beautiful.  Creamy and expansive, the 2017 offers up a compelling mix of orchard fruit, orange peel, spice and tangerine oil.  As always, Reflet d’Antan is a solar-style blend that includes 25% reserve wine back to 1982.  That combination yields a Champagne endowed with tons of nuance and complexity.  This is the first time Relet d’Antan will be released only in magnums.  Readers should be prepared for much higher pricing on this wine, which the Bereche brothers explain as necessary in order to make investments in quality across their operation." 

James Suckling, 94 Points 

"Very deep and rich, showing sweet-smelling nuttiness and yellow plums. Essence-like palate that’s deeply concentrated, smooth and richly textured. Super vinous with a mellow bead. A selection of reserve wine, just 4-5 demi-muids (500-600 litre oak barrels) each year. Drink or hold." 

Alcohol: 12.5% 

Organically grown.
