Bertrand Deparnay Terroirs de Prestige Millésimé 2020 (1.5L Magnum)

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.

Premier Cru prestige cuvée from 2020's ripe, balanced harvest on marly south-facing slopes (% Chardonnay/Pinot Noir undisclosed). Golden with refined mousse, it layers baked apple, brioche, honeyed citrus, and chalk minerality. Creamy lees texture, vibrant acidity, and elegant oxidative depth promise 10+ years' evolution—ideal magnum for celebrations.
