2017 BERTRAND DELESPIERRE Extra Brut Premier Cru "Terres Amoureuses" Blanc de Bl

Domaine Bertrand-Delespierre is a hidden gem located in Chamery, a Premier Cru village nestled in the Montagne de Reims. Managed with precision by siblings Chantal and Clemenceau Delespierre, the estate focuses on low-intervention viticulture, long cellar aging, and minimal dosage to highlight the raw, chalky expression of their terroir. "Terres Amoureuses" (Amorous Soils) is a single-parcel, plot-designated Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs that captures the romantic relationship between old-vine Chardonnay and Chamery’s limestone soils. The 2017 vintage required rigorous selection, resulting in a Champagne of striking tension, structural purity, and intense mineral depth. Vinified with minimal intervention and aged extensively on the lees before receiving a precise Extra Brut dosage, this cuvée offers a high-toned, gastronomic expression of Premier Cru Chardonnay that appeals directly to Champagne connoisseurs.
