Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2016 Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Les Chemins d'Avize Extra Brut is a bright yellow color and has a very pretty bouquet of green apple candies, lime Jell-O, white flowers, and quince. With medium body, it floats on the palate and perhaps feels a bit lean, but I love it. The mousse is refreshing and airy, and perhaps that also contributes to the lift, but its limey, pure Jell-O notes linger on the finish. It's a very pretty wine that should have no problem aging another 15-20 years.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The Champagne Larmandier-Bernier estate is a shining star of the Côte des Blancs. This family-run house, established for several generations, has forged a reputation for excellence thanks to champagnes of great purity and striking minerality. As early as the 1990s, Pierre Larmandier was a pioneer in adopting environmentally friendly farming practices, converting the estate to biodynamics to reveal the most authentic expression of Chardonnay. The Larmandier-Bernier style is distinguished by remarkable finesse and minimalist dosage, favoring the wine's natural balance. Among the flagship cuvées is the Terre de Vertus Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Non-Dosé, a vibrant expression of the Vertus terroir. Les Chemins d'Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut and Vieilles Vignes du Levant Grand Cru Extra Brut are single-plot cuvées that magnify the Avize terroir. We also appreciate the Longitude Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut and the Latitude Extra Brut, reflections of the house's expertise, as well as the vinous and fruity Rosé de Saignée Premier Cru Extra Brut. A range of champagnes of great elegance, which brilliantly celebrate the typicity of their terroirs.
