Champagne LARMANDIER-BERNIER
"Terre de Vertus" 1er cru Non Dosé - Blanc de blancs
- 2016
- Champagne
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.
