Shipping informations

From the terroir of Fèrebrianges, in the Vallée du Petit Morin, this exceptional Ratafia is produced by Maison A. Bergère from Pinot Noir grapes, using a traditional method that involves blending the grape must with a carefully selected Fine de Champagne. The wine is then matured for 3 years in 228-litre oak barrels, giving it a silky texture, remarkable aromatic complexity and great finesse. This long ageing brings balance, structure and an inimitable charm, worthy of the finest traditional Champagne spirits.

The sommelier info

Ratafia by Domaine A. Bergère seduces with its brilliant orange-red colour, the prelude to a rich, warm tasting experience. On the nose, it offers a generous bouquet of very ripe fruit: juicy mirabelle plums, melting figs and hints of gourmet jam. On the palate, the aromas of sweet spices blossom harmoniously, carried by a delicate structure resulting from its ageing in cask. Our little guilty pleasure!

The domain

Champagne A Bergere owns vineyards in several communes, notably in Fèrebrianges and Epernay, in the Marne Valley and the Côte des Blancs. On the soil of predilection of the Pinot Noir, A. Bergère produces reserve wines from the flagship grape varieties of the Champagne appellation.

WHY CHAMPAGNE A. BERGERE ?

Champagne Bergère is a family story. In the 50’s, Albert Bergère created his Champagne house by exploiting the family vineyards. He started to vinify and market his champagne under the name " A. Bergère". The success will arrive quickly by dint of work and regularity. His son André took over and expanded the estate in the 1980s, under the impetus of his wife Brigitte. Together, the couple extended the Bergere vineyard, which offered great possibilities for blending. The adventure continues with the children whose first names all begin with the letter "a" of the emblematic Champagne A Bergere.

THE ART OF BLENDING BERGERE CHAMPAGNES

For several years now, the blend of Bergere reserve Champagnes has been 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier. The harvest is done manually and it is the superb blends that are the talk of the town. Bergère: the different vintages, crus and grape varieties are brought together to find the best combinations. The wish of Adrien Bergère, the young winemaker of the family, is to continue to put quality before quantity and to take care of this art of blending already perpetuated for many years in the family. The bottling according to the Champagne method is always done in the family, before the bottles of Champagne A Bergere leave for several months for the cellars where they will age before being sold.

THE DIFFERENT PRODUCTIONS OF CHAMPAGNE BERGERE

The range of A Bergere Champagnes is wide, from the most classic Brut, called Brut Origine, to the Blanc de Blancs Terres Blanches and the rosé Brut, to the more prestigious vintages, made from Grand Cru, as well as plot-based vintages, which are also vintage. Finally, the Maison Bergère produces fruity and crisp red wines in the Coteaux Champenois appellation on the terroir of Fèrebrianges. A more atypical production of monocépages like Petit Meslier and champagnes elaborated on the principle of Solera are also available. We can say that the Maison A. Bergère knows how to renew itself and try new things!
