Description
The Solera Blanc de Blancs from Domaine A. Bergère is a 100% Chardonnay Champagne, crafted from the finest terroirs in Champagne. This Blanc de Blancs is vinified using the Solera method, a rare technique in Champagne that preserves part of the wine from each vintage in a perpetual blend. This unique method adds exceptional aromatic complexity and depth while maintaining the fresh character of Chardonnay.
Blend
The Solera Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Chardonnay, which brings finesse and elegance. Chardonnay, grown on Champagne’s chalky soils, imparts remarkable vivacity and purity. The Solera method creates a wine with complex aromas, blending several vintages together.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: The wine presents a bright pale gold color with golden highlights and fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose: The nose is refined and complex, revealing fresh citrus aromas such as lemon and grapefruit, complemented by delicate floral notes like acacia and linden. There are also more developed touches of dried fruits, toasted almonds, and brioche, reflecting the Solera method and extended aging.
Palate: On the palate, this Blanc de Blancs is vibrant and elegant, with a beautiful tension brought by the Chardonnay. Flavors of citrus, green apple, and pear harmonize with nuances of brioche, hazelnut, and honey. The texture is silky, with fine and creamy bubbles. The finish is long and fresh, marked by subtle minerality and slightly saline notes, characteristic of the Champagne terroir.
