This is fantastic Champagne from a highly regarded producer. It's in a lean, considerably dry style compared to the major Champagne houses, and it has real finesse and incredible length and line to it...exceptional.

A blend of 80 per cent Chardonnay from the
Côte des Blancs and 20 per cent Pinot Noir. The fruit is hand-picked predominantly from the
2005 vintage with one-third reserve wines from 2004 and 2002, and it has < 5gm dosage. A full, rich wine with a lovely creamy texture and a striking earthy lick to close. This is Larmandier’s ode to the traditional, house styles, although without the high yields and dosage.

“The same maker’s Brut Tradition Premier Cru NV, which includes 20 per cent pinot noir also
grown in Vertus, has more colour and a smoky, straw-like pinot aspect that turns strawberry-like in the mouth, while retaining great finesse and harmony, and extraordinary persistence.”
Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald.

5 Stars, Best Champagne – Uncorked Magazine 2007 : Larmandier-Bernier is a small
privately owned champagne house making wines of superb quality. Although only 20 per cent of this wine is pinot noir, it shows good pinot presence in its smoky, complex nose. The savoury, appetising finish is super-long and satisfying.”
