A. Bergere Brut Rose, Champagne, France (2023 Base)
Brut Rosé is a beautifully crafted grower Champagne that combines freshness, elegance, and vibrant fruit. Produced by the Bergère family, whose vineyards span the Côte des Blancs, Vallée du Petit Morin, and Sézannais, this rosé reflects the estate's commitment to sustainable farming and meticulous winemaking. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, enhanced with a small addition of still red Pinot Noir, it opens with expressive aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, red currant, rose petals, citrus zest, and delicate brioche. The palate is lively and refined, balancing bright red berry fruit with crisp acidity, a creamy mousse, and subtle chalky minerality that carries through to a long, refreshing finish. Equally suited as an aperitif or paired with salmon, tuna, charcuterie, or berry desserts, A. Bergère Brut Rosé is an elegant and versatile grower Champagne that consistently overdelivers.
