WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for A. Bergère Millésime Extra Brut 2013 begins with a manual harvest. Grapes are pressed before fermentation, which takes place partially in stainless steel and partially in wood (foudres and 228L barrels). The wine is then aged for several years on fine lees, with secondary fermentation occurring in the bottle for an average of 3 to 4 years. The dosage is kept very low, adhering to the Extra Brut style. The estate employs Lutte Raisonnée farming practices, emphasizing respect for nature and eco-friendly methods.
