Champagne A. Bergère - Vintage 2013 - Brut
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 vineyards. His son André, accompanied by his wife Brigitte Martin, took over the management of the estate and expanded the vineyard significantly: 14 terroirs on the Côte des Blancs. Thus, the grape supplies from renowned villages and prestigious terroirs complement the harvests each year, offering a wide range of possibilities in the blends.
After the manual harvest, the grapes are pressed and alcoholic fermentation begins after clarification. In January, the team meets for the blends of different grape varieties, vintages or years. The wines created are bottled accompanied by the liqueur de tirage which allows the foaming. During this second fermentation, the bottles are placed in the cellar for an average of 3 to 4 years. At the end of the aging, the bottles are disgorged and then dosed with the liqueur d'expédition which defines the dosage. The bottles then return to the cellar for at least 3 months before being marketed.
The Prestige cuvée is a blend of Chardonnay (50%), Meunier (40%) and Pinot Noir (10%) from the 2013 vintage only. Vinification and aging are carried out on lees. It was disgorged in March 2022 and contains a dosage of 3 g/L .
Grape varieties: 50% Chardonnay, 40% Meunier, 10% Pinot Noir
