LARMANDIER-BERNIER Terre de Vertus Premier Cru is a non-dosed vintage champagne from a 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 of great complexity. Thus, the natural balance of this champagne does not require any 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, and this, without blending with other years, because it is a vintage. In addition, no blending with other terroirs is carried out, thus confirming its plot character. Then, the bottles are 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 marketing, each bottle is disgorged manually. Finally, this champagne is non-dosed, meaning that no sugar is added, in order to preserve its purity until the end. The Terre De Vertus Premier Cru from the Larmandier-Bernier house is a brut nature champagne to serve at the start of a meal. This cuvée can delicately accompany oysters with its purity. It also goes perfectly with truffles. It is a champagne that can be enjoyed now or after 5 to 10 years of storage.

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 the work of the vineyard was shaped by nature itself, without the help of modern techniques. Jules Larmandier, Pierre's great-grandfather, bears witness to the challenges encountered, particularly in the face of the cochylis which threatened the region's vineyards. It was Philippe Larmandier, Jules' son, who would breathe new life into the family business by becoming a supplier to the greatest 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 the 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 hope of wine 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, offering more space for aging in wood and ageing in the cellar. True to its origins, the estate favors quality over quantity, refusing to buy grapes and preferring to invest in the acquisition of vineyards in the finest vintages. Thus, Larmandier-Bernier continues to write its history, driven by a passion passed down from generation to generation.
