2017 A Bergère Les Peignottes

The 2017 A. Bergère Les Peignottes is a distinctive vintage Champagne from a single vineyard in the Côte des Bar, produced by the family-owned A. Bergère estate. This terroir-driven cuvée reflects the character of its site with aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple and citrus zest, complemented by notes of toasted brioche, almond and subtle chalky minerality developed through extended ageing.

On the palate, it is richly textured yet beautifully balanced, with fine bubbles and vibrant acidity supporting flavours of orchard fruit, lemon curd and delicate pastry notes. The wine combines depth and precision, leading to a long, dry finish with impressive freshness and mineral persistence.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Champagne for those who appreciate single-vineyard expressions with both complexity and elegance. Drinking beautifully now, it also has the structure to evolve further over the next 5–8 years. Pairs wonderfully with lobster, scallops, roast poultry, creamy mushroom dishes and aged hard cheeses.
