A. Bergere "Origine" Brut NV
(Champagne, France) - [JD 91] [WS 90] [VM 90]

About the Domaine:
The Bergère family has tended vines on the slopes of the Vallée du Petit Morin since 1848 and in 1949, Albert Bergère founded Maison Bergère in an effort to better promote the family’s terroir. In 1986, Albert’s son, André took over the estate and further expanded their vineyard holdings.

Next generation Adrien Bergère joined his parents and sister on the estate in 2014 as winemaker after obtaining his diploma in oenology. He arrived with the desire to further enhance his family’s terroirs and showcase the richness of the Vallée du Petit Morin. To achieve this, he immediately began to vinify all the parcels separately to better understand the diversity of his terroir and isolate the best parcels, which gave birth to the parcel-based range and the two Coteaux Champenois, in addition to the traditional range already established by his family.

About this Wine:
This cuvée represents the “origin” of the family story and blends grapes from their three historic villages.

Ratings & Reviews

91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck: 
"The NV Champagne Origine Brut is based around the 2020 vintage and is mostly Chardonnay with 20% Pinot Noir and 10% Meunier. The nose opens with a pretty and fruity profile, and it pours a medium yellow color, with aromas of fresh flowers, wet stones, white peach, and candied lemon. Medium-bodied and lively, it’s approachable and refreshing, with a clean, juicy feel, a spritely and refined mousse, and a clean finish. It’s a very appealing wine with a light saline finish to drink now or over the coming 5-7 years" - Audrey Frick (Dec 2024)

90 Points - Wine Spectator:
"This refreshing Champagne boasts balance and a satiny mousse, offering an accessible range of steeped cherry, poached quince, Meyer lemon peel, anise hyssop and candied ginger flavors. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Drink now." - Alison Napjus (Dec 2025)

90 Points - Vinous Media:
"The NV Brut Origine, a blend of 70% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier based on the 2021 vintage with 30% reserve wines, showcases its Chardonnay dominance with lovely notes of lemony Mirabelle tart, creamy and sunny. Tasted from an earlier disgorgement last year, it benefited from more time on lees, as its slenderness is now supported by a creamier mousse. Fine, lively bubbles elevate the wine's lemony brightness. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2023." - Anne Krebiehl MW (Mar 2024)
