Larmandier-Bernier
Larmandier-Bernier is a producer of grower champagne.[1]
History
Champagne Larmandier-Bernier was established upon the marriage of Philippe Larmandier and Elisabeth Bernier in 1971; their families have been active in the Champagne region since the French Revolution.[2]
Vineyards
Larmandier-Bernier has fifteen hectares under vine, including the Côte des Blancs grands crus villages Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize, and the premiers crus village of Vertus.[2] Most of the family's vineyards are planted to Chardonnay, and about 15% are planted to Pinot Noir. The average age of the vines is 33 years.[1]
Vinification
The Larmandier-Bernier winemaking process never adds more than five grams per liter of sugar.[2] The family estate began to produce organic wine in 1992, and transitioned to biodynamic viticulture in 1999.[3][2] Larmandier-Bernier uses only indigenous yeasts.[1]
Awards and honors
Larmandier-Bernier has been rated as one of Champagne's top five producers by Andrew Jefford in The New France.[4]
