Description
What kind of wine it is
Natacha Deplaine's Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut fully showcases Chardonnay, vinified according to the strict rules of the Traditional Method. In the glass, it displays a straw-yellow hue with greenish highlights, enlivened by an elegant and persistent perlage. The bouquet offers clear notes of citrus, green apple and white flowers, intertwined with a delicate chalky nuance. On the palate, the Champagne reveals itself as fresh and taut, with a creamy texture that balances the aromatic purity and finishes with a distinctly saline note. It is ideal served chilled to accompany oysters, sushi or fish-based dishes.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Venteuil, in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne. In this outstanding winegrowing area, Natacha Deplaine manages her own vineyards with the precision of an independent winemaker. Here, Chardonnay thrives thanks to the chalky soil, a feature that imparts a pronounced tension and a deep mineral character to the grapes. Careful vineyard management aims to transfer all the freshness and vibrant energy that define the personality of this Blanc de Blancs into the glass.
How it is produced
Production follows the Traditional Method and is overseen entirely by the family as récoltant-manipulant. After the creation of the base wine, bottle refermentation triggers the formation of the mousse, followed by careful ageing on the lees which enriches the structure of the cuvée. The final disgorgement involves a Brut dosage, with a residual sugar content of 7.5 grams per litre, designed to preserve the freshness and clarity of the flavour profile. This meticulous attention ensures a wine of great balance, capable of evolving harmoniously over time.
History and Curiosities

The region's typical chalky soil imparts a profound minerality and elegance to every bottle.
