Champagne Larmandier-Bernier Twin Pack

This Estate is meticulously run by Pierre Larmandier and his wife Sophie. Pierre’s family has owned vineyards in the Côte des Blancs since the Revolution, and Pierre took over the vines from his mother in 1988. He stopped using herbicide in 1992, then went organic, and today the Estate is also farmed biodynamically—extremely rare in Champagne where only 2% of the vineyard surface is certified organic. The Estate is now 18 hectares, predominantly in Vertus, at the Southern tip of the Côte des Blancs, yet there are also holdings in Cramant, Chouilly, Oger & Avize. There is a predominance of old vine parcels—50, 60, and even 70 years old—again, something that remains very rare in Champagne. This naturally keeps the yields very low by Champagne standards, at 50 hl/ha on average.
