Bérat Schenk

Bérat Schenk is a distinguished Champagne house nestled in the picturesque Marne Valley, near Épernay, an area renowned for its exceptional terroir. Established in the 1950s in the charming village of Boursault, the estate benefits from the region's chalky soils, which are particularly favorable for growing Pinot Meunier—a grape that thrives here—and Pinot Noir. This focus on local varieties allows Bérat Schenk to craft unique champagnes with depth and character. What sets Bérat Schenk apart is its commitment to traditional winemaking methods. Each cuvée is fermented in oak barrels, imparting a distinctive woody aroma that is becoming increasingly rare in modern production. The meticulous process includes manual riddling of the bottles for several weeks, ensuring optimal quality. The result is a powerful champagne celebrated for its aromatic strength, making it a versatile companion for various dishes, from game to desserts. Bérat Schenk's dedication to quality over quantity has earned it a solid reputation among connoisseurs.
