A pleasing result of accuracy and finesse with a persistent bubble that blends perfectly with the acidity. Accuracy of aromas, complexity, everything is there for this “0 dosage” Franciacorta which has significant aging potential. A real pleasure to share.

Tasting Note: Champagne, André BERGERE, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Nature, Non Vintage

Comments = This Champagne offers you an incredible value for money. A well done Brut Nature that focuses on minerality, acidity and a refined bubbles. The aromas are noticeable and balanced but the acidity and the tensed Chardonnay aromatics together with a very low residual sugar are clearly the strong suit of this Champagne. It offers you an incredible value for money at around 30 euros!

Final Grade = B+
