Champagne Larmandier Bernier

Wines
Champagne Larmandier Bernier

Pierre Larmandier is undoubtedly the most thoughtful winemaker in the commune of Vertus, and the one who expresses the terroir with the most precision. The basic principles of his work are simple: viticulture that respects the soil and plants, avant-garde in Champagne, and winemaking that is as natural as possible. Like all great wines, its Champagne wines can be enjoyed at any time, including at the table.

Champagne Larmandier-Bernier is a grower estate located in Vertus, in the heart of the Champagne Côte des Blancs. Since 1971, the Larmandier-Bernier family has cultivated 16 hectares biodynamically on Grand Cru terroirs (Cramant, Avize, Oger, Chouilly) and Premier Cru (Vertus), with 90% Chardonnay. Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Champagne since 1999, craft champagnes of exceptional purity, minerality and authenticity, fermented with indigenous yeasts in Stockinger casks and with minimal dosage, today joined by their sons Arthur and Georges.

L'histoire du domaine

The Larmandier and Bernier families have cultivated vines in Champagne since 1765, working the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs across generations. At the beginning of the 20th century, Jules Larmandier, Pierre's great-grandfather, became a supplier to the finest Parisian restaurants — La Tour d'Argent, Taillevent, Charlot roi des coquillages. The estate took its current form in 1971, when Philippe Larmandier married Élisabeth Bernier, a vineyard owner in Vertus, creating Champagne Larmandier-Bernier. In 1988, their son Pierre took over and initiated a radical transformation. From 1992, he converted the vineyard to organic farming, then to full biodynamic viticulture in 1999, well ahead of the current environmental awareness. Alongside him, Sophie, an engineer by training, shared this vision of respect for nature. Critical acclaim followed: "most promising wine, 2002" from Revue du Vin de France, "winegrower of the year, 2003" for Gault&Millau. Arthur joined the family venture in 2017, followed by Georges in 2021, opening a new chapter for the estate.

Le terroir

The Larmandier-Bernier vineyard extends over 16 hectares divided into around fifty parcels on the Côte des Blancs: the Grand Crus of Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize, and the Premier Cru of Vertus, where the family built their cellar. Campanian chalk is the keystone of these exceptional terroirs: it imparts the elegant minerality and characteristic chalky signature to the champagnes. The average age of the vines is 35 years, with parcels of 50 to 85 years in Cramant. Since 1999, the entire estate has been farmed biodynamically (organic certification in 2003): ploughing to encourage deep rooting and preserve soil life, natural grass cover, controlled yields, zero herbicides, zero pesticides. The vines originate from massal selections made by the Larmandier and Bernier grandfathers. Each parcel is vinified separately with indigenous yeasts in Stockinger foudres and casks, without added yeasts since 1999. Ageing on lees extends for eleven months, without racking or filtration, for wines of absolute purity.

Les vins

The Larmandier-Bernier range is built around Chardonnay (90% of plantings), complemented by Pinot Noir and a small amount of Pinot Gris. The two non-vintage champagnes, Latitude and Longitude, form the entry level: the former, from the south of Vertus on more generous soils, offers roundness and charm; the latter, a blend from Vertus, Oger, Avize and Cramant near the 4th meridian, is straight, taut and incisive. Then come the vintage single-parcel cuvées: Terre de Vertus, non-dosé, from the lieu-dit Les Barillers mid-slope, of remarkable salinity and complexity; Les Chemins d'Avize, from two Grand Cru parcels; and Vieille Vigne du Levant, the pinnacle of the range, from 60 to 85-year-old vines on the Bourron du Levant in Cramant, facing south-east. The Rosé de Saignée, vinified by maceration (a rare technique in Champagne) from co-planted Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, completes the palette. The style is instantly recognisable: minimal dosage (never more than 4 g/l, often zero), crystalline purity, chalky minerality, vibrant tension and exceptional length. Champagnes that can be drunk young while possessing ageing potential of 5 to 15 years depending on the cuvée.

Le vigneron

Pierre Larmandier embodies the figure of the Champagne winemaker-researcher. Born in Vertus, he grew up in his parents' vineyards and cellars before taking over the estate in 1988. A visionary, he began converting to organic farming in 1992, then to full biodynamic viticulture in 1999, making Larmandier-Bernier one of the very first biodynamic estates in Champagne. Alongside him, Sophie, a graduate of École Centrale de Lyon, brings her sensitivity and ecological commitment: it was the meeting of Pierre's viticultural ambition and Sophie's environmentally respectful way of life that gave birth to the estate's philosophy. Since 2017, their sons Arthur, a graduate of Rennes Business School, and then Georges, an aeronautical engineer trained at Supélec, have joined the family venture. The most recent sources (2024-2026) confirm that Pierre and Sophie today work with Arthur and Georges, forming a close-knit family team that perpetuates and amplifies the pioneering vision initiated more than thirty years ago. Their approach is summed up in one conviction: the greatness of a champagne is earned in the vineyards, not through cellar artifice.
