The Bergère family has tended vines on the slopes of the Vallée du Petit Morin since 1848, when Albert Bergère founded the maison to promote the family's terroir. The estate has remained in the family through five generations, with each inheriting the same commitment to quality that their nineteenth-century ancestor established.
🌅 Dawn· 🌬️ Breeze
Dawn primary — a family estate with over 170 years of accumulated knowledge about their specific terroir. The craft shows in the wine's texture and reserve wine complexity. Breeze secondary — the Vallée du Petit Morin's fresher, windier exposures add lift and freshness that keeps the wine's broad texture from ever feeling heavy.
Tasting note
A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from a family that has farmed the Vallée du Petit Morin since 1848. Broad and textured with real reserve wine character — this is the kind of Champagne that regularly outperforms its price point and rewards those who find it.

    The Bergère family has tended vines on the slopes of the Vallée du Petit Morin since 1848 and in 1949, Albert Bergère founded Maison Bergère in an effort to better promote the family’s terroir. In 1986, Albert’s son, André took over the estate and further expanded their vineyard holdings. His wife, Brigitte established their boutique on Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, which is now managed by their daughter, Annaëlle.

    Adrien Bergère joined his parents and sister on the estate in 2014 as winemaker after obtaining his diploma in oenology. He arrived with the desire to further enhance his family’s terroirs and showcase the richness of the Vallée du Petit Morin. To achieve this, he immediately began to vinify all the parcels separately to better understand the diversity of his terroir and isolate the best parcels, which gave birth to the parcel-based range and the two Coteaux Champenois, in addition to the traditional range already established by his family. Between 2014-2018 has been the period for Adrien to experiment. He introduced barrels and foudres, which allowed him to experiment and analyze his wines on different vinifications, and adapt his work to best express his terroirs.
