Dominated by a very high proportion of Chardonnay, this blended rosé champagne is distinguished by its liveliness and airy elegance, colored by the delicacy of Pinot Noir. Balanced and mellow, it offers a precise fruity expression with notes of red berries, supported by the mineral freshness of its terroirs of origin. It is a champagne for immediate enjoyment, ideal as an aperitif or to accompany delicate dishes.
The production of Rosé A. Bergère
The blend of this cuvée is atypical for a rosé, with Chardonnay accounting for 90% of the blend . This predominance of white grapes gives the wine its energy and tension. The color and aromas of red fruits are provided by the addition of 10% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine (Coteaux Champenois). This blending method combines the straightforwardness of Chardonnay with the richness of Pinot Noir, creating a subtle harmony between freshness and fruitiness.
The Terroir
The grapes come from the terroirs of Fèrebrianges, Etoges, and Congy, located in the Petit Morin Valley. This area is characterized by mixed soils composed of clay and chalk. The clay brings roundness and body to the wine, while the chalk provides the minerality and finesse necessary for the production of an elegant champagne.
Vinification
Maison A. Bergère favors a vinification process that respects the identity of the fruit. This cuvée benefits from careful production aimed at preserving its aromatic purity. The dosage is 7 g/l, a classic Brut balance that envelops the wine's mellow texture while maintaining a fresh and digestible finish.
