Champagne A. Bergére Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra Brut NV
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceAdrien Bergère is the current generation of this family of vignerons who built their sizable estate as farmers in the heart of the Vallée du Petit Morin. The Bergère family has tended vines there since 1848, with Albert Bergère founding Maison Bergère in 1949 to better promote the family’s terroir. The family now works 45 hectares. This distinctively bottled BdB comes from the Grands Crus of Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Mesnil-sur-Oger. From base year 2021, and with 20% reserves, this was partially fermented in barrel, and went to bottle unfiltered, aged under cork (agrafe) disgorged after 2 years sur lattes with 3 g/L in February 2024. The chalkiness rules, a fine line streaking throughout, bedding crisp green apple, delicate white flowers and delicate meringue. Acidity is shining, carrying this through a lingering saline and lemon laced finish. Super smart, finely structured, and with ample time ahead.Tasted: 09 February 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| USA | $54.00 | 750ml | USA |
