This cuvée is crafted from vineyards in Chamery, Écueil, Villedommange, and Montbré, all premier cru sites in the Montagne de Reims. It was fermented and aged in stainless steel for eight months before spending three years sur lattes. Based on the 2019 vintage (60%), it incorporates reserve wines from the three previous vintages. Balanced and structure Champagne that really delivers with notes of green apple and brioche.
Notes on the producer
Bertrand-Delespierre is seamlessly transitioning under siblings Adrien and Clémence, who joined in 2013 and 2016. Their father’s sustainable practices, including ploughing to avoid herbicides, left the 30-year-old vineyards in excellent shape.
Since 2017, Adrien and Clémence have introduced organic farming on 2 hectares, with plans to expand, using organic amendments, alternating ploughing and grass cover, and exploring phytotherapy to reduce copper usage. Their vineyards span four premier cru villages: Chamery, Écueil, and Villedomange in the Petite Montagne, plus Montbré in the Grande Montagne, each benefiting from varied, expressive soils.
