A. Shepherdess

A. Bergère is a Côte des Blancs estate that vinifies Chardonnay in close proximity to its five Grand Crus: Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, and Chouilly. Rooted in chalk, its Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Extra-Brut cuvée emphasizes precision over volume—white flowers, lemon, and a taut finish, with a dosage tightened to 3 g/l that allows the terroir to express itself without artifice. A still-discreet house, one to watch for those who appreciate uncompromising Blanc de Blancs.
