LARMANDIER-BERNIER Terre de Vertus Premier Cru is a non-dosé vintage champagne made from a single plot of Chardonnay, vinified separately, under the name of the lieu-dit Les Barillers, located in the middle of the hillside in Vertus. This terroir is distinguished by its unique characteristics: delicate, saline, and highly complex. Thus, the natural balance of this champagne requires no additional blending. Composed exclusively of Chardonnay, from a single terroir and a single year, it perfectly reflects the singularity of its origin. Bottling takes place at the end of July, without blending with other years, as it is a vintage. Furthermore, no blending with other terroirs is made, thus confirming its single-plot character. The bottles are then carefully lowered into the cool of the cellars. There, the second fermentation and aging on slats take place quietly for at least six more years. One year before release, each bottle is disgorged by hand. Finally, this champagne is non-dosé, meaning no sugar is added, to preserve its purity until the end. Terre De Vertus Premier Cru from Larmandier-Bernier is a brut nature champagne to serve at the beginning of a meal. This cuvée can delicately accompany oysters with its purity. It also pairs perfectly with truffles. This champagne can be enjoyed immediately or after 5 to 10 years of aging.

THE BRAND
The winemaking history of the Larmandier and Bernier families dates back to 1765. The memories brought back by Louis Prosper Larmandier, Pierre's great-great-grandfather, tell of a time when vineyard work was shaped by nature itself, without the aid of modern techniques. Jules Larmandier, Pierre's great-grandfather, bears witness to the challenges encountered, particularly in the face of cochylis, which threatened the region's vineyards. It was Philippe Larmandier, Jules's son, who breathed new life into the family business by becoming a supplier to the finest Parisian restaurants alongside his wife, Elisabeth Bernier. Together, they created Champagne Larmandier-Bernier and built their cellar in Vertus. Their son, Pierre, heir to this ancestral passion, decided to reconnect with his roots by taking up the torch. With his wife Sophie, he undertook a radical transformation by adopting environmentally friendly practices such as biodynamics and the use of indigenous yeasts. Under Pierre's leadership, the vines regained their former glory, producing increasingly expressive and concentrated champagnes. This evolution also led to a rethinking of aging methods, abandoning stainless steel vats in favor of barrels and tuns to allow the champagnes to fully flourish. Pierre's efforts were rewarded by growing recognition in the wine world, with distinctions such as the title of "best wine hope 2002" awarded by the Revue des Vins de France. The Larmandier-Bernier estate , driven by this constant ambition for excellence, continued its expansion. A new winery was built, providing more space for aging in wood and in the cellar. True to its roots, the estate prioritizes quality over quantity, refusing to buy grapes and preferring to invest in acquiring vineyards in the finest vintages. Thus, Larmandier-Bernier continues to write its story, driven by a passion passed down from generation to generation.
