Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Remarkable citrus-driven tension, carried by Vertus chalk and the complete absence of dosage.
Roundness
Malolactic fermentation and ageing in foudre lend a silky texture without ever weighing down the overall structure.
Depth
Five years on lees develop an aromatic complexity and a notable presence on the palate for a Blanc de Blancs.
Length
An exceptionally persistent mineral finish, marked by damp chalk and a subtle iodine quality characteristic of Vertus.

TASTING NOTES

Deep golden robe with green highlights, the mousse fine and remarkably persistent. The nose is precise and chiselled: green apple, Meyer lemon zest, fresh almond and lightly toasted brioche over a backbone of saline minerality evocative of damp chalk. The palate displays great tension, airy and long, where citrus notes gradually yield to hints of acacia honey, camomile and flint.

Terroirs

Sourced from the « Les Barillers » plot at mid-slope in Vertus, Premier Cru of the Côte des Blancs, on deeply chalky soils; the Chardonnay has been vinified separately since 1995 in Stockinger foudres and barrels, using indigenous yeasts, without filtration or fining, to express the mineral integrity of this lieu as faithfully as possible.

Larmandier-Bernier

About this house

Pierre Larmandier and Sophie Larmandier-Bernier have embodied committed grower viticulture in Champagne since the 1990s: a domaine certified in organic and biodynamic farming, vinified in wood (Stockinger foudres, barrels), without filtration or fining, producing wines that are undosed or very lightly dosed.

Based in Vertus at the heart of the Côte des Blancs, they farm approximately 15 hectares across several classified villages (Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger), always with the same commitment to transparency and a true sense of place.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

The saline minerality and fine mousse of this undosed Blanc de Blancs beautifully enhance the briny freshness of a Normandy oyster.

Starter

Starter

The citrus vivacity and aromatic purity of the wine marry elegantly with the citrus and herbs of a salmon gravlax.

Main Course

Main Course

The mineral tension and lingering freshness of the wine engage beautifully with the vegetal bitterness of a green asparagus risotto.
