2013 A. Bergere Millesime Brut

nvestigating "place" is at the core of the ever-evolving grower Champagne discussion. As we know, place is everything when deciphering terroir. Young Adrien Bergère, whose family domaine has one foot in the under-announced territory of Fèrebrianges, with its diverse soils, just 15 minutes south of Épernay and one in the epicenter of Grand Cru terroir, with a core of enough quantity and variation in vines to showcase an entirely new message. 

Each of the 139 plots is vinified seperately and then blended. 50% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier. Digorgement 2022, 10 years after the supple 2012 vintage.  

Brioche and warm supple orchard fruits that are putting on weight, this is really coming into something.
