Larmandier-Bernier is a Chardonnay house through and through (90% of its vines are Chardonnay, just 9% Pinot Noir), so a zero-dosage Blanc de Noirs from this Vertus grower is a real curiosity. The family made its first Blanc de Noirs in 2015, from old Pinot Noir vines in Vertus. 2019 is a year they remember for "gorgeous pinots." It wasn't an easy season. Spring frost hit the CΓ΄te des Blancs harder than anywhere else in Champagne, a July heatwave reached 42Β°C, and quantities were small. But cold September nights and a north wind let the family wait, and they picked relatively late, from 16 to 26 September, bringing in perfectly sound grapes with good acidity. Brut Nature means no sugar is added, so there's nothing smoothing over the Pinot. The house has farmed biodynamically since 1999, ferments only with indigenous yeasts in wooden casks, and vinifies each cru separately. Think of it as a Champagne to open with dinner, not just for a toast.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producersβ€”farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
