Raphaël and Vincent Bérêche lead the family Champagne estate at Le Craon de Ludes. Their work is easiest to follow through the difference between Brut Réserve, a house blend, and named site wines such as Le Cran and Les Beaux Regards.
From blend to site
Brut Réserve gathers the estate’s broader blending choices. Les Beaux Regards focuses on Chardonnay from Ludes; Le Cran gives another parcel reference. These wines turn the conversation from a general grower label to the particular decisions behind each bottling.
The family estate
The house has a long Ludes history, and current producer listings name Raphaël and Vincent as its leaders. The brothers work across vineyards in several Champagne villages, with Ludes remaining the estate address. Their bottles, rather than an assumed cellar-door experience, are the soundest introduction to their approach.
