Taste :

Exceptional density and deepness thanks to
the Pinot Meunier, exclusive grape variety of this Champagne which is manually
harvested at an optimum maturity,stemming from old vineyards (65 years) and vinified without chaptalization
·
Unexpected balance between the roundness,
almost fleshly, and the vividness strengthened by the judicious stuck of the
malolactic fermentation
·
Minerality is present all along the mouth,
expression of the noble soils of the gorgeous Clos Bergeronneau (2 ha 10) with
its east-southerly aspect from which the grapes are stemming from.
·
Creamy
and sensuous sparkling
·
One can find the pepper and spices in
consistency with the nose

Uncommon length on the palate.
This Champagne rewards the genuine
practises of viti-viniculture, compliant with the environment principles, implemented
by the F. Bergeronneau-Marion Champagne. This Clos des Bergeronneau Brut brings
unforgettable emotions. It proves once again the great potential of the Pinot
Meunier.
Even though it is self-sufficient, it will ideally accompany your gastronomic meals on a poultry or why not a red grilled meat.
