ADRIEN BERGERE ROSE NV - white

Style: Bold & PowerfulThe family make wine from some 45 Ha of estate owned vines, with 35 Ha in and around the villages of Fèrebrianges, Etoges and Congy in the Valle du Petit Morin southwest of Épernay. Not the most famous of areas in the region, it is the vineyards that do the talking here. Adrien also owns 5 Ha in the more famous Côtes des Blancs and a further 5 Ha in the Côtes de Sezanne to the south. Chardonnay makes up 70% of planting with 20% of Pinot Noir and 10% of Pinot Meunier in the mixer. The history of the estate follows that of many of the new wave of growers making waves in the region, with the family originally becoming growers in Fèrebrianges in 1848. After the end of the war, Albert Bergere founded the A.Bergere estate with the aim of promoting the local terroir. The following generations continued to add precious sites to the estate over the years before Adrien came to the fore in 2014 when his father was given the opportunity to add 14 Ha of vines to his holdings when his brother was looking to sell his vines. In coming back to the estate & with more vines under his watchful eye Adrien has been able to take things to a new level.2017 Base and there is 10% Coteaux Champenoise Rouge blended in for colour. The Coteaux is a serious wine in itself, mostly fermented and aged in inox in order to preserve freshness and elegance in the final wine. This is a wine that screams out for food and the team are looking for a ‘gourmand’ style, with the wine in bottle making you salivate more and more with every sip. A seriously great example of a grower that thinks of the final place where the wine will be poured at the same time as concentrating on capturing the vineyards where the grapes are grown in the glass.
