At Larmandier-Bernier, the focus is on balance and freshness, with a highly refined, parcel-based approach. The wines display a precise texture, vibrant acidity, and a chalky minerality typical of the great terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. Aging on lees adds complexity and vinosity, while the low dosage preserves the purity of the fruit. We appreciate the length on the palate and the clear aging potential.

The Larmandier-Bernier estate, anchored in Vertus, is located in the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blancs. This family-run Champagne estate spans approximately 15 hectares, planted primarily with Chardonnay, the signature grape variety of this region. The vines are spread across the renowned terroirs of Vertus, Avize, Cramant, and Oger.
The history of Larmandier-Bernier is defined by a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture. As early as 1992, Pierre Larmandier initiated a transition toward more environmentally friendly practices. This turning point was marked by meticulous soil cultivation and the gradual abandonment of herbicides. Starting in 1999, the estate intensified its approach by adopting biodynamics, a holistic method that views the vineyard as a living ecosystem. Fermentation takes place using indigenous yeasts from each terroir, thereby helping to express the unique character of every parcel. For the Larmandier-Bernier family, this philosophy is self-evident—a necessity to fully reveal the potential of their exceptional terroirs.
