Champagne A. Bergère

Champagne A. Bergère is a family estate from Fèrebrianges, founded 1949. The vines are planted in three villages of the Côte de Sézanne, specifically the Coteaux du Petit Morin: Fèrebrianges, Étoges and Congy, each with its own soil signature of limestone, sand and clay.

The philosophy is engraved in the agraffe: "Nothing great is done without Passion". Minimally worked, unfiltered, aged on the lees.

History

In 1949 the family began building their own operation in Fèrebrianges. Since then the estate has remained in family hands, the exact generational transitions and names of current management are still to be clarified.

Vignoble & Soil

The vines are spread across three villages: Fèrebrianges, Étoges and Congy. Each brings its own soil signature, with limestone, sand and clay in different proportions. This blend shapes the estate's cuvées and delivers both freshness and mineral depth.

Vinification

The wines are minimally worked and unfiltered. Part of the Cuvée Origine is vinified in 228-liter barrels, the rest presumably in stainless steel. Aging takes place on the lees. The dosage for the Origine is 4 g/l, clearly in the Extra-Brut spectrum, but labeled here as Brut.
