Champagne A.BERGERE SOLERA Blanc de Blanc 75 cl

Description

A. Bergère Solera Blanc de Blancs – A perpetual reserve champagne in a 75 cl bottle

The Blanc de Blancs Solera Brut from A. Bergère is a champagne made from 100 per cent Chardonnay, the iconic grape variety for white champagnes. The grapes come from Fèrebrianges, Étoges and Congy, three terroirs in the Petit Morin valley where the limestone soils contribute to the cuvée’s character. Its identity is based on a blend of wines from different vintages, following a perpetual reserve system established in 2013.

The solera principle ensures continuity of style across successive blends. For this cuvée, the base wine is blended with a reserve comprising wines that have been aged for several years. This approach adds an extra dimension to the Chardonnay and enhances its complexity, whilst maintaining a fruity character and freshness that are ideal for tasting.

The work in the cellar also contributes to its profile. Part of the vinification and ageing on lees takes place in 228-litre barrels. This method helps to develop the wine’s texture and aromatic richness. The house describes a brilliant golden colour, a generous nose with floral notes and a creamy palate characterised by white peach and nectarine. The dosage of 3 g/l listed on the technical data sheet complements this expression without accentuating the sweetness.

This champagne can be served as an aperitif, where its notes of white fruit and supple texture lend themselves to delicate canapés. It also pairs well with a meal featuring roasted fish, scallops, shellfish or poultry served with a creamy sauce. To fully appreciate its bouquet, avoid serving it too cold.

Available in a 75 cl bottle, Champagne A. Bergère Solera Blanc de Blancs Brut is an appealing choice for lovers of terroir-driven champagnes, Chardonnay and carefully crafted blends. Its perpetual reserve and partial ageing in oak barrels give it a distinctive character amongst blanc de blancs champagnes.
