Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Les Chemins d'Avize Grand Cru BIO 2014

The 2014 Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Les Chemins d'Avize Grand Cru is one of Champagne's greatest Blanc de Blancs, a pure expression of Grand Cru Chardonnay from the prestigious vineyards of Avize and Cramant, in the Côte des Blancs. The Larmandier-Bernier house, known for its biodynamic philosophy and parcel-by-plot winemaking, creates an elegant and profound Champagne, the fruit of an extraordinary vintage like 2014.

It displays a bright golden yellow color and a very fine perlage. The nose offers a broad and refined bouquet: ripe citrus, dried fruit, mineral notes, chalk, and nuances of brioche and white flowers. On the palate, it is creamy yet taut, with great freshness, a chalky minerality typical of the Avize terroir, and a very long, precise, and savory finish.

The 2014 Larmandier-Bernier Les Chemins d'Avize Champagne is a connoisseur's wine, ideal for special occasions and refined pairings with raw seafood, shellfish, fine fish, and gourmet dishes. A great Blanc de Blancs that combines complexity, finesse, and energy.
