Champagne Blanc de Noirs - Larmandier-Bernier
Direct from the estate - new champaign
Technical details of the new cuvée :
Disgorged in May 2022. Larmandier-Bernier only farms 1.2 hectares of old Pinot Noir vines in Vertus, grown on the south side of the village where the soil is slightly richer, with a higher clay content. These vines are best known as the source of the Rosé de Saignée, the first wine of the estate. Over the years, Pierre Larmandier has also made some still wine from these vines - in the past, Vertus Rouge was as famous as the red wines of Bouzy - but, until now, never a Blanc de Noirs.
Conditions for success with this cuvée:
2015 was a fine year for Pinot Noir in Vertus, leading Larmandier to vinify a white Champagne from these grapes, alongside the rosé. It is made in the same way as the estate's Terre de Vertus, with the base wine fermented naturally and aged in a mix of large barrel and tank for 11 months on the lees and bottled in July 2016. After nearly six years in bottle, it was disgorged in May 2022 with zero dosage to preserve the natural richness of the Pinot Noir.
