Larmandier-Bernier
Pierre Larmandier is passionate about his vineyards, which are around fifty separate parcels, spread across the Cotes des Blancs in the grand cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize, and the premier cru of Vertus. All but three of the parcels(representing 0.5 hectares) are farmed using non-officially certified biodynamic methods. Wines are made only from their own 15 hectares of vines, which are an average 33 years old. Working only with natural yeasts the influence of 'terroir' is all important to the style of his wines, so much so that he uses a minimum 'dosage' (if at all) so as not to mask the wines natural characteristics.

LARMANDIER-BERNIER Tradition Extra Brut 1er Cru
Non Vintage France
Very dry blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from Vertus (this is in fact an extra-brut), elegant and pure flavours, making for an interesting contrast to the Egly-Ouriet style. Breathtaking wine at this price.

LARMANDIER-BERNIER Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1er Cru
Non Vintage France
This is a touch more full bodied than the Tradition, even though it is 100% Chardonnay, with some evolved notes yet still very elegant and long.

LARMANDIER-BERNIER Terre de Vertus Extra Brut 1er Cru
Non Vintage France
100% Chardonnay from Premier Crus vineyards planted in 1982 and 1962, given absolutely no 'dosage', making it an ultra brut, and in Pierre Larmandier's words a true expression of the Vertus 'terroir'. Elegant, restrained, with toasty, citrus flavours and underlying minerality this really is a sensational wine.

LARMANDIER-BERNIER Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut Vertus
Non Vintage Rosé France
This is a genuine 'rosé de saignée' made only from Pinot Noir. Grapes are destemmed and left to macerate for about two days before the juice is bled off for fermentation. The wine is matured on the lees over winter, and after being aged in the cellars is given only a very discreet 'dosage' (3 grams of sugar). Full bodied, elegant and very pure flavours.

2006 LARMANDIER-BERNIER Vieilles Vignes de Cramant Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Grand Cru
Non Vintage France
Pierre Larmandier is well placed with his Grand Cru vineyard in Cramant, planted in 1960 and 1932 . This a minimal 'dosage', and is an 'Extra Brut' (less than 3g residual sugar), but the creamy texture, developed fruit, and subtle hint of oak gives a certain richness to this very delicious wine.
