Champagne A. Bergère is located in Epernay, in Champagne . The brand was founded by Albert Bergère in 1949, when he began to produce his Champagne using the family vines. His son André, accompanied by his wife Brigitte Martin, took over management of the estate and expanded the vineyard significantly: 14 terroirs on the Côte des Blancs. Thus, supplies of grapes from renowned villages and prestigious terroirs supplement the harvest each year, offering a wide range of possibilities in blends.
After manual harvesting, the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation begins after clarification. In January, the team meets for blends of different grape varieties, vintages or years. The wines created are bottled accompanied by the liqueur which allows the foam to form. During this second fermentation, the bottles are placed in the cellar for an average of 3 to 4 years. At the end of aging, the bottles are disgorged then dosed with the expedition liqueur which defines the dosage. The bottles then return to the cellar for a minimum of 3 months before being marketed.
This Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay whose vines are cultivated on the limestone terroirs of the Grands Crus villages of Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The base of the wine comes from the 2021 vintage . Vinification and aging on lees are carried out partially in 228 liter barrels. The wine was disgorged in February 2023 with an Extra-Brut dosage of 3 g/L .
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
