Reviewed December 2025The 2010 Champagne Premier Cru Vertus Millesime Côte is just a shade deeper medium yellow color, and has tremendous power and persistence, with mouthwatering citrus energy in its notes of hazelnut and chalky, salty earth. It has a sustained depth as well, with a note of lemon oils. (AF)

Vinous
The 2010 Côte Premier Cru is 100% Chardonnay from Vertus. Bright, aromatic and also surprisingly youthful, the 2010 is immediately appealing, immediately alluring. It's a terrific example of this vintage at its finest. Tangerine peel, pastry, white pepper and flowers all race across the palate. A Champagne of uncommon depth and nuance, the 2010 Côte is irresistible. Its also one of the very best wines I have tasted in this series of micro-négociant wines from the Bérêche family. What a delight. Dosage is 3.4 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2023. (AG)
Notes
Vertus sits at the southern end of Champagne’s Côte des Blancs, an area renowned for Chardonnay. This 2010 Champagne from Les Monts Fournois highlights that village origin in its “Crus Sélectionnés Côte” bottling. The Premier Cru designation refers to Vertus’s status in Champagne’s historic village-based classification, rather than to an individual vineyard.
