Producer
Bertrand-Delespierre is a Premier Cru estate in Montagne de Reims, owned by the married tandem of Didier Bertrand and Chantal Delespierre. The vineyard cultivates its own grapes and exclusively produces the highest quality wine from estate-grown fruit, undergoing a delicate pressing process in small lots using a traditional wooden basket press, while preserving the wine's freshness and aromatics in the further steps. At its core, Bertrand-Delespierre is an artisanal operation, where meticulous care is taken in the vineyards and winery. This care is evident in the exceptional quality of its champagnes.   Situated in the very heart of the Montagne de Reims, between the cities of Reims and Épernay, the vineyards of this estate are spread across the four villages of Chamery, Ecueil, Villedommange, and Montbré, all of which are classified as Premier Cru. The estate comprises approximately 5 ha of Pinot Noir, 3 ha of Pinot Meunier, and 3 ha of Chardonnay, with the vines average age of 25 and some exceptional parcels that have been cultivated for over 50 years.

The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
