The old vines of the Levant face south-east and benefit from an exceptional terroir. They are between 56 and more than 80 years old. Their roots go down deep, and the diversity of the old vine stocks contributes to the complexity of the wine. The bottles are taken down into the coolness of the cellars and stacked on lattes, the second fermentation takes place and the maturation continues slowly for 7 or 8 more years. Each bottle is disgorged by hand 6 months before being marketed. Delivering a complex bouquet of orange oil and pear mingled with notions of freshly baked bread, white flowers, marzipan and beeswax, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with terrific concentration, racy acids and chalky structure. Powerful and precise, it concludes with a long, mineral finish.
Larmandier-Bernier is one of the finest estates in the Côte des Blancs. The Larmandier family farms organically, harvesting late and vinifying their wines in oak barrels. The result is full-bodied, terroir-driven Champagnes. In a region where many wines can still be dull and brittle, Larmandier-Bernier showcases the richness and texture that great Champagne can achieve. Their success is driven by many factors: biodynamic viticulture, old vines, a prime location, minimal intervention in the winery, and careful vineyard management. Any wine bearing this family’s label is marked by consistency, quality, and deserves special attention.
