Tasting Notes
*THIS OFFER INCLUDES FOUR OF EACH OF THE FOLLOWING CHAMPAGNES IN THE DOZEN*
Larmandier Bernier Brut Tradition Vertus 1er Cru NV
A blend of 80 per cent Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and 20 per cent Pinot Noir. A full, rich wine with a lovely creamy texture and a striking earthy lick to close. This is Larmandier's ode to the traditional, house styles, although without the high yields and dosage.
Larmandier Bernier Brut Blanc de Blancs Vertus 1er Cru NV
As the name suggests, this is 100 per cent Chardonnay.
“The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru is elegance personified... Simply put, this is gorgeous juice.” Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate
Larmandier Bernier Rosé de Saignée Brut 1er Cru NV
"This is one of the most remarkable champagnes I have ever tasted. Quite a deep pink, it is almost impossibly perfumed - like a really good red burgundy, with forest fruit and spice aromas - and is intense, elegant, entrancing, crisp, juicy and endless in the mouth. Wow!" Max Allen, The Weekend Australian Magazine.
"Larmandier-Bernier's NV Extra Brut Rose de Saignee is one of the most profound wines I encountered in my tastings... Larmandier-Bernier completely redefines what Rose can be all about with this monumental effort..." 96 Points, Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate
Producer
Larmandier-Bernier
The estate is meticulously run by Pierre Larmandier and his wife Sophie. Pierre’s family has owned vineyards in the Côte des Blancs since the Revolution. The estate is now 15 hectares, predominantly in Vertus, at the Southern tip of the Côte des Blancs, yet there are also holdings in Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize. The vineyards are biodynamically worked and the average age of the vines is 35 years; most Champagne vineyards are considered ‘old’ and due for replanting at 20 years. Yields are kept very low by Champagne standards, 50 hl/ha on average. Larmandier-Bernier has been rated as one of Champagne’s top five producers.
