TASTING NOTES

Pale golden robe with luminous green highlights. On the nose, the chalk of Avize speaks with striking clarity: white blossom, yuzu citrus, a whisper of brioche, and damp chalk. On the palate, tension reigns supreme — vibrant acidity, lingering salinity, candied citrus — leading to a finish of exceptional length and precision.

Terroirs

Sourced from the 'Chemin de Plivot' and 'Chemin de Flavigny' Grand Cru plots in Avize (Côte des Blancs), planted with old Chardonnay vines of around 50 years on exposed chalky soils, farmed in certified Demeter biodynamics since 1999.

Larmandier-Bernier

About this house

Larmandier-Bernier is a family domaine based in Vertus, which Pierre and Sophie Larmandier have established as one of the benchmark estates in grower and biodynamic Champagne. Converting to organic farming as early as 1992, then to certified Demeter biodynamics in 1999, they tend 15 hectares across the Côte des Blancs with an uncompromising respect for living soils.

Each cuvée expresses a precise terroir, vinified with indigenous yeasts and aged in barrels and large oak foudres, without fining or filtration. Their intimate, magnetic Champagnes rank among the purest and most sought-after expressions in the region.
