Les Peignottes 2016 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Les Peignottes is a cuvée from the Maison A. Bergère collection of parcel wines. Bergère's collection of parcel wines, featuring one of their flagship terroirs, Oger. Through his champagnes, Adrien Bergère aims to highlight the richness of the Domaine's terroirs. To do so, he selects the best vines producing wines with character and identity, with the primary aim of enabling the wine to reveal expression and freshness.

This superb Blanc de Blancs is made with Chardonnay from the 2016 harvest, from old vines planted in 1920, 1975 and 1990 on the superb Grand Cru terroir of Oger, located in the Côte des Blancs. Maison A. Bergère is constantly striving to express its terroir to the full through viticulture that respects nature.

The 2016 vintage is a vintage of contrasts in Champagne, with a mild, sunny autumn followed by a rainy, cool spring. Fortunately, a hot, dry summer enabled the grapes to reach excellent ripeness. All in all, this is a vintage that combines tension and delicacy.

Vinification and ageing on lees are carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and 228-liter barrels. The wine is dosed Extra-Brut at 4 g/L and is not filtered to preserve all its qualities.

The nose is rich and intense, with floral and fruity notes.

On the palate, the wine reveals a fine structure expressing ripe white fruit aromas, ending with a touch of noble bitterness, supported by a fresh finish.
