Pierre and Sophie Larmandier are one of the precursors of biodynamics. On their 16 ha vineyard south of the Côte des Blancs, they produces champagnes of an exemplary naturalness and frankness. Very low dosage because they come from perfectly ripe grapes, their vintages express with precision the aromatic intensity and gourmet taste of the greatest chardonnays in Champagne. In short, Larmandier-Bernier gets with his chardonnays what Égly-Ouriet succeeds with his pinot noirs. Ranked 4th best Champagne producer by the Revue du Vin de France (behind Selosse, Égly-Ouriet and Agrapart).

This small House, well known to insiders, shines at the top of the Champagne hierarchy. Based on a 31 ha vineyard, its vintages reflect the potential of their respective terroirs with finesse and purity. Coming from 3 great vintages and 2 first vintages, made only from the first press juices, vinified in tuns, almost always unfiltered, the 700 vintages are great Champagne wines with remarkable ageing potential. The number corresponds to the year on which the cuvée is made: 741 = 2013, 742 = 2014, etc.

Winston Churchill was not mistaken in making Pol Roger his favourite champagne. The entire range of this family run house is exemplary. Brut Réserve, ripe and elegant, the ideal champagne for all occasions. The 2004 vintage is long and charming, while the Winston Churchill Cuvée, made with the House's finest pinot noirs, is unusually vinous and powerful, "a monster of harmonies" for the Revue du Vin de France.
