Bertrand Deparnay Les Vernaculaires Les Terres Jean Lelarge Millésimé 2018 Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

Champagne Bertrand Deparnay, rooted in Cumières (Premier Cru, Vallée de la Marne), descends from Pierre Bertrand's 1946 legacy near Dom Pérignon's Hautvillers. Under Bertrand Deparnay since 2010, the family estate crafts terroir-focused Champagnes from south-facing Coteaux slopes blending chalk, clay, and limestone soils across Cumières, Hautvillers, Mardeuil, and Damery. Sustainable practices highlight Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay.

Chardonnay from historic 2018 Les Terres Jean Lelarge plot (chalk-clay). Zero-dosage purity: intense green apple, white peach, flint, brioche. Linear acidity, creamy lees aging, profound minerality, and explosive length showcase old-vine depth.
