Great New Grower Alert | Champagne A Bergère

Champagne A Bergère | Fèrebrianges, Vallée du Petit Morin

The Bergère family has tended vines on the slopes of the Vallée du Petit Morin since 1848 and in 1949, Albert Bergère founded Maison Bergère. 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, 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 the Vallée du Petit Morin. He immediately began to vinify all the parcels separately to better understand the diversity of his terroir and isolate the best parcels, which gave birth to the parcel-based range, in addition to the traditional range already established by his family.  He also introduced barrels and foudre, and started a solera project to further experiment and elevate quality.  These are clean, precise, and delicious..
