Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The medium yellow 2017 Champagne Premier Cru Terre de Vertus Brut Nature offers notes of fresh pineapple, salty earth, preserved lemon, and nutty fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, it has a chalky and structured feel, with more persistence, structure, and a savory aroma, and it would be more tightly bound, though it retains the broad depth of the vintage as well. The mousse is spicy and peppery and accents the structure. It feels nervous, and I wouldn't be surprised to see this show even better in a few more years. Drink 2025-2040.

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.
