LARMANDIER-BERNIER Tradition Extra Brut 1er Cru
LARMANDIER-BERNIER Tradition Extra Brut 1er Cru
| Grapes: Chardonnay Pinot Meunier Pinot Noir | Origin: France, Non Vintage |
Lea & Sandeman review
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.Other reviews and comments
Light yellow. Fresh pear and peach aromas are deepened by floral honey and gentle minerality. Plush, honeyed orchard fruit flavors are impressively fine-grained and silky. This boasts impressive depth, focus and persistence, showing a slow-building tangerine quality on the finish.
90/100

Un Champagne de fruit facile d'acces en bouche pour sa souplesse et sa finesse. Parfait pour l'apéritif.

La Revue du Vin de France
This is the estate's "battle horse" (the French equivalent of the English "work horse"), made with 80% Chardonnay from the Côtes des Blancs and 20% Pinot Noir from Vertus. It is disgorged manually and dosed with only 5 grammes per litre of sugar - effectively making it an "Extra Brut" wine. The nose shows savoury aromas of brioche and ripe citrus fruits, with a hint of raspberry from the Pinot Noir. The Pinot also adds structure and roundness to the palate, on which pure flavours combine in a satisfying finish. An apéritif wine par excellence.

GROWER CHAMPAGNES
With every man and his wife on the lookout for Champagne "deals", it is sad that so many people overlook the best "deals" of all - high quality, grower-made Champagnes, packed with character, and at prices significantly below any of the best prices you might find for Grande Marque Champagnes.
