Champagne Larmandier-Bernier is a distinguished producer located in the Côte des Blancs, renowned for its exceptional focus on quality and sustainability. The legacy of the Larmandier and Bernier families in the Champagne region dates back to the French Revolution, but it was only with the marriage of Philippe Larmandier and Elisabeth Bernier in 1971 that Champagne Larmandier-Bernier was formally established.
The estate is dedicated to producing wines that exemplify the rich terroir of the region, with an impressive vineyard composition of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir. The family employs meticulous biodynamic farming methods, ensuring that each vintage reflects the highest quality fruit. Their commitment to this philosophy emphasizes the health of the vines and the surrounding ecosystem, fostering a harmonious connection with nature.
As the vines approach 35 years of age, the Larmandiers take a conservative approach to yields, prioritizing quality over quantity, which is somewhat uncommon in the Champagne region. This philosophy allows them to create wines that are both expressive and refined, showcasing the unique qualities of their vineyards.
Champagne Larmandier-Bernier has earned recognition as one of the true stars of the Côte des Blancs, captivating wine lovers with its elegant, mineral-driven Champagnes that reflect the estate’s commitment to craftsmanship and authenticity. As they continue to innovate while respecting tradition, Larmandier-Bernier remains a celebrated name in the world of fine Champagne, inviting enthusiasts to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
