Champagne Pierre Bertrand
In the rolling hills of the Côte des Bar, where the tapestry of vineyards tells stories of dedication and passion, Champagne Paul-Marie Bertrand stands as a testament to familial heritage and the art of winemaking. Established in 1971 by Paul-Marie Bertrand in the quaint village of Bagneux-la-Fosse, this maison embodies the seamless blend of tradition and innovation that defines exceptional Champagne.
Paul-Marie's journey began with a vision to craft Champagnes that resonate with authenticity and express the unique terroir of the region. He meticulously selected parcels with optimal south and southwest exposures, laying the foundation for vineyards that would yield grapes of remarkable character. His dedication bore fruit with the release of the inaugural cuvées, setting the stage for a legacy of excellence.
In 2006, the stewardship of the estate transitioned to Paul-Marie's son, Etienne Bertrand. With a profound respect for the family's history and an eye toward the future, Etienne infused the maison with renewed vigor. His deep appreciation for the Champagne region's rich tapestry of vineyards and his commitment to sustainable practices have propelled the house into a new era of distinction.
The estate's vineyards span two notable regions: the historic slopes of Cumières in the Marne Valley and the sun-kissed terrains of Bagneux-la-Fosse in the Côte des Bar. This duality allows Champagne Paul-Marie Bertrand to harness the nuanced expressions of both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, crafting blends that are both harmonious and reflective of their origins.
Central to the maison's philosophy is a hands-on, artisanal approach. From vine cultivation to the delicate process of vinification, every step is undertaken with meticulous care. The result is a portfolio of Champagnes that exude elegance and complexity. The Brut cuvée, for instance, showcases a vibrant interplay of citrus and orchard fruits, underpinned by subtle toasty notes—a hallmark of the house's style.
Beyond the wines, Champagne Paul-Marie Bertrand offers an immersive experience into the heart of Champagne. Visitors are welcomed into a 17th-century vendangeoir, where the fusion of history and hospitality provides a backdrop for tastings that engage the senses and deepen appreciation for the craft.
In essence, Champagne Paul-Marie Bertrand is more than a producer; it is a guardian of tradition, a cultivator of innovation, and a creator of moments that sparkle with authenticity. Each bottle is an invitation to partake in a narrative that spans generations, celebrating the enduring allure of Champagne.
