Larmandier-Bernier 2016 Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Champagne [JS94 WA93 V92]

Larmandier-Bernier Terre de Vertus Premier Cru Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs 2016

Crafted in Champagne’s prestigious Côte des Blancs, this 100% Chardonnay organic champagne captures Vertus’ mineral-driven terroir through meticulous low-intervention winemaking. The 2016 vintage reveals vibrant layers of wild strawberry, white cherry, and citrus zest—balanced by nuanced hints of chalky minerality and fresh pastry.

Awarded 94 points by James Suckling for its striking elegance, this bone-dry premier cru delivers surprising fruit richness despite zero dosage aging. Vinified in neutral oak barrels to preserve purity, it unfolds with a structured yet silky texture—culminating in a crisp, lingering finish praised by critics for its energy and finesse.

Ideal for collectors or special occasions, this low-alcohol champagne (12%) pairs beautifully with oysters or delicate seafood dishes. As a benchmark for sustainable luxury champagne, it reflects Larmandier-Bernier’s commitment to organic viticulture and terroir transparency—offering exceptional cellar potential while celebrating Champagne’s artisanal heritage.
