 Tasted by JohanEGS on 6/17/2023 & rated 89 points: Nice together with Peking duck and sticky shrimp dumplings. Compared to a NV Pol Roger I would say the PR does it a bit better. But this is far more enjoyable than some silly Moet... (188 views)
 Tasted by WeimanA on 6/8/2019: Helt OK, bättre än den andra Bergere vi provade men inget unikt (1209 views)
 Tasted by RolfT on 9/6/2015 & rated 85 points: Not as fantastic this time around, but in no way bad. Just... boring. (3269 views)
 Tasted by RolfT on 9/20/2014 & rated 90 points: Tasted at an A. Bergere tasting in Copenhagen where we tasted the whole line.

This, the tete de cuvee, was my favorite of all the wines. Close runner up was the millesime (2008) and the NV BdB.

The reserve wines and extended ageing (5+ years) really completed this wine and made it a true winner!

Well worth the price of 50-60$. (2498 views)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.
