ABOUT THIS WINE
A. Bergère Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is a Champagne produced exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes. The wine is designated 'Brut Nature,' indicating zero grams per liter of residual sugar, making it exceptionally dry. The grapes are sourced from the Vallée du Petit Morin, specifically from Fèrebrianges, Étoges, and Congy, where the limestone soils, referred to as 'Terres Blanches,' are particularly suited for Chardonnay. The A. Bergère family has a long history of viticulture in the region, dating back to 1848, with the estate founded in 1949. The current generation continues the family's commitment to quality and respect for the terroir, employing sustainable and eco-friendly vineyard practices. A portion of the wine undergoes aging in 228-liter oak barrels and is aged on its lees, contributing to its complexity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The A. Bergère Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. Following primary fermentation, a portion of the wine is aged in 228-liter oak barrels, while the remainder is likely fermented in stainless steel. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees, a process that enhances complexity and texture. It is bottled with a Brut Nature dosage, meaning no sugar is added, resulting in a very dry profile. The producer's philosophy emphasizes sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention to highlight the distinctiveness of their vineyard plots.
