French Defence: Alekhine Chartard Attack

Hi everyone! Lately I've been scoring very badly in this line of the French Defence: The Alekhine's Chartard Attack. White just seems to get a very long lasting initiative! I was wondering what you guys  think is the best way for black to proceed in this position?

If you cant find a satisfactory line against the alekhine/chatard attack try playing the McCutcheon variation , it scores better than the classical 4....Be7 .

In this position you can play c5.

Usually I do play Bxg5 with equal game.
