Pierre and Sophie Larmandier are among the precursors of biodynamic wines. On their 16 ha vineyard in the south of the Côte des Blancs, they produce champagnes of exemplary naturalness and frankness. Very low (or even no) dosage because they are made from perfectly ripe grapes, their vintages express with precision the aromatic intensity and the delicacy of the greatest chardonnays of Champagne. In short, Larmandier-Bernier obtains with its chardonnays what Égly-Ouriet achieves with its pinots noirs.

The elegance and consistency of Larmandier-Bernier champagnes is praised by Bettane & Desseauve: “Few wineries in any region can boast such consistency at this high level”.

Estate rated two stars in the Revue du Vin de France's annual guide.

This small estate, well known to the initiated, shines at the top of the Champagne hierarchy.

A precise and meticulous worker, Francis Égly is at the top of the Champagne world. With his vineyards magnificently situated in grand cru (pinot noir and chardonnay in Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzenay) and premier cru (in Vrigny and Bisseuil), he makes wines of prodigious vinosity, intensity and nobility of character, always on the razor's edge between the great ripeness of the grapes and a fine chalky minerality. All his vintages are vinified in wood, without malolactic fermentation. The critics are enthusiastic, such as M. Bettane, who says that "Égly-Ouriet sets the tone for all Champagne viticulture with vintages of staggering depth".

Égly-Ouriet has been rewarded with its fourth star in the Revue du Vin de France's 2025 guide.

The admirable flagship Brut Grand Cru, barely dosed (1g/l), is slender and rich, with hints of iodine accompanying a fine bitterness.

Maison Roederer has been regaining its lustre since 2010, under the guidance of its excellent cellar master Mr. Lecaillon, a firm believer in permaculture and agroforestry who in 2018 put half (120 ha) of the vineyard into organic conversion. The House's style is now oriented towards straightforwardness and salinity, refined and uncluttered wines.

The range begins with the cuvée Collection, as much an aperitif champagne as a meal wine, thanks to the addition of reserve wines. Then come three vintages (Brut, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs) to conclude with Cristal, their world-famous flagship cuvée.

Collection is a multi-vintage blend, dominated by chardonnay (40%) and pinots noir and meunier. Collection n°243 is built around the 2018 harvest (59%), blended with 41% reserve wines from vintages 2009 to 2017.

The Brut Millésimé is built around Pinot Noirs (70%) from the original Roederer vineyard, “La Montagne”. Aged an average of 4 years on lees, it combines a fleshy, vinous texture with subtle fruity and smoky aromas.

The Rosé Millésimé is obtained by a slow, gentle maceration of Pinot Noir in part of the Chardonnay juice. This “infusion” process gives it a round, fresh character, with aromas of tart red fruits (redcurrant) perfectly integrated.

Brut Nature is a new transversal cuvée, produced only in great years, where purity (zero dosage) and generosity (pinot noir dominance) are the watchwords.

Cristal, the highlight of the range, is a model of purity and balance. A true “champagne de garde”, it can be cellared for over 15 years without losing any of its freshness or power.

Dubourdieu estate, perfect expression of Sauvignon Blanc (100%), between aromatic freshness (citrus fruits...), vivacity and beautiful serene length. A model for all dry white Bordeaux wines!

On a gravelly soil renowned for its whites, Camus vinifies a small production with a Semillon majority (60%, with 40% Sauvignon), grown in vats. A beautiful white Graves, of good volume, expressive, really very pleasant.

Small estate of 6.5 hectares of Côtes de Francs, where Mr. Thienpont, also owner of Puyguéraud and La Prade, produces an excellent white wine vinified in barrels of 500 liters, long, fat and smooth, with a judicious point of acidity.

Although produced in Lamarque in the heart of Haut-Médoc, this is the most original dry white wine in the Gironde, a blend of gros manseng (as in Jurançon), sauvignon gris (superior to the more common sauvignon blanc), savagnin (as in Jura) and mondeuse blanche (as in Savoie). All this gives a dry white wine with golden reflections, powerful, sapy, fruity, complex and elegant. A special wine!

Continuing a tradition dating back to the early 20th century, Fonréaud (Listrac) produces a confidential white wine on 3 hectares, very dry and tense, just like the Pavillon blanc de Margaux and, like it, an archetype of dry Médoc whites. And with great regularity, as Bettane & Desseauve (Guide 2025) rightly points out, “Cygne de Fonréaud is a great success, always impeccably precise and fresh in every vintage”.
