Larmandier-Bernier’s Premier Cru Terres de Vertus Champagne is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Premier Cru vineyards of Vertus, in the Côte des Blancs. The vineyards are cultivated according to biodynamic principles, with great attention to the balance of the terroir. Vinification involves spontaneous fermentation, partly in wood and partly in steel, followed by the second fermentation according to the Méthode Champenoise. The very low dosage enhances precision, minerality and elegance.
Bright straw-yellow in colour with a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals notes of citrus, green apple and white flowers, accompanied by hints of toasted bread, almond and subtle chalky undertones. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, with great savouriness, elegant creaminess and a long, mineral and harmonious finish.
A refined and terroir-driven Champagne, ideal as a premium aperitif or paired with oysters, shellfish, raw fish and delicate cuisine.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 8–10°C.
