The Character

Tasting Notes A taut, incisive Blanc de Blancs with lifted aromas of lemon peel, white flowers, and citrus, underscored by crushed rock, slate, chalk, and a touch of white pepper. Medium-bodied and sculpted, the palate is driven by bright, saline acidity and mineral tension, carrying through to a long, chalky, oyster shell–tinged finish.

About Larmandier - Bernier

Producer Story

One of the true gems in Champagne, Larmandier-Bernier is a small grower estate with eighteen biodynamically farmed hectares in Grand Cru & Premier Cru villages of the Côte des Blancs. Both the Larmandier and Bernier families have had a long history in the Champagne region, dating back to the French revolution, but it was not until the marriage of Philippe Larmandier and Elisabeth Bernier in 1971 that Champagne Larmandier-Bernier was officially established. The small house today is directed by Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, who took over the direction of the family estate in 1988. In 1992, Pierre began to convert the vineyards over to organic and then to full-blown biodynamic viticulture in 1999.
