Bertrand Deparnay Les Vernaculaires Les Terres Jean Lelarge Millésimé 2018 Blanc de Noirs (Meunier) 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.

Meunier from 2018 Jean Lelarge parcel (Marne valley clay). Rich yellow plum, pear, almond skin, autolytic depth. Bold yet precise, with creamy texture, saline minerality, and explosive finale—Brut Nature amplifies Meunier's fleshy, site-specific power.
