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.
Pure Pinot Noir from Les Semonts' 2019 stony slopes. Deep gold, red fruit core (cherry, plum), earth, spice, truffle hints. Potent structure, silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and profound, savory persistence—no dosage reveals terroir intensity.
