The Origine from A. Bergère comes from a rarely-exported sub region of Champagne just southwest of the Côte des Blancs centered around the village of Etoges. The wine is a beautiful example of a chardonnay dominant, brioche filled style, yet still finishes crisp and dry. I loved this on its own as an aperitif!

The A. Bergere "Origine" Brut Champagne may be new to the shelves of K&L, but the Bergere family has been fastidiously tending vines on the slopes of the Valee du Petit Morin since 1849 and making their own Champagne since 1949. The wine is composed of 70% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, and 10% Meunier, all of which is fermented in barrel with reserve wine making up 30% of the final product. The result is a wine of dual personalities: succulent, unctuous texture and dry, mineral-driven freshness. There's so much weight and leesy, toasty delight through the midpalate, but the wine manages to finish with an almost chalky minerality, balancing the best of both worlds. This one is well worth trying for yourself.
Notes
Composed of 70% of Chardonnay, 20% of Pinot and 10% Meunier from the Bergère estate, this all barrel fermented champagne comes from vines under conversion to organic farming. -Gary Westby, K&L
