Champagne A. Bergère Brut Rosé NV

The Bergère family has tended vines on the slopes of the Vallée du Petit Morin since 1848. However, it was after the end of WW2, in 1949 - that Albert Bergère founded Maison Bergère in an effort to better promote the family’s terroir. In 1986, Albert’s son, André took over the estate and further expanded their vineyard holdings. His wife, Brigitte established their boutique on Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, after a lengthy renovation in 2007, which is now managed by their daughter, Annaëlle.

Adrien Bergère joined his parents and sister on the estate in 2014 as winemaker after obtaining his diploma in oenology. He arrived with the desire to further enhance his family’s terroirs and showcase the richness of the Vallée du Petit Morin. To achieve this, he immediately began to vinify all the parcels separately to better understand the diversity of their terroir and isolate the best parcels, which gave birth to the parcel-based range and the two Coteaux Champenois, in addition to the traditional range already established by his family.  He introduced barrels and foudres, which allowed him to experiment and analyze his wines on different vinifications and adapt his work to best express his terroirs. 

Today the Bergère family farms 45 hectares of vines in Champagne with 35 hectares in the Vallée du Petit Morin, 5 hectares in the Côtes de Blancs, and 5 hectares in Sezanne. They produce about 70,000 bottles and the rest of the grapes they sell.
