ADRIEN BERGERE GRAND BLANC DE BLANC NV

Style: Rocks & Minerals

The family make wine from some 45 Ha of estate owned vines, with 35 Ha in and around the villages of Fèrebrianges, Etoges and Congy in the Valle du Petit Morin southwest of Épernay. Not the most famous of areas in the region, it is the vineyards that do the talking here. Adrien also owns 5 Ha in the more famous Côtes des Blancs and a further 5 Ha in the Côtes de Sezanne to the south. Chardonnay makes up 70% of planting with 20% of Pinot Noir and 10% of Pinot Meunier in the mixer. The history of the estate follows that of many of the new wave of growers making waves in the region, with the family originally becoming growers in Fèrebrianges in 1848. These terroir driven elixirs are only going to get better as Adrien and the team continue to understand their terroir more and more as the years go on and Adrien is no doubt one of the brightest rising stars in the region.

A terrific expression of the magnificent Côte des Blancs and you can almost taste the chalky soils in the glass. A step up in power but once more the pursuit of freshness is not sacrificed even when the power of the Côte des Blancs is there for all to see and the wine remains tightly wound, pure and focused and more importantly, fresh and moreish. CELLARHAND
