Larmandier-Bernier NV Vieilles Vignes de Cramant Grand Cru Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $80
While the Larmandier’s main vineyard is in Vertus, they also have a parcel in the grand cru vineyard of Cramant. It is full of beautifully ripe fruit, beginning to round out as it ages. Green fruits and white pears, as well as yeast are still dominant; drink 2010.

Larmandier-Bernier NV Terre de Vertus Premier Cru Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $55
A 100% Chardonnay blanc de blancs that is presented without any dosage to soften the acidity. Yet it doesn’t seem to matter, because this Champagne is deliciously ripe, packed with mature fruit flavors, a touch of almonds to go with the white currant tastes and a layer of toastiness. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

Larmandier-Bernier NV Terre de Vertus Premier Cru Chardonnay (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $62
Although this is marked nonvintage, the fruit all comes from 2004. It is made from old vines, giving richness and ripeness, and a generous white fruit character which fully compensates for the very dry nature of the wine. It’s delicious, a complex wine of intense character.

Larmandier-Bernier 2002 Vieille Vigne de Cramant Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $70
This is certainly Chardonnay, full of green apple and white fruit creaminess that is still suspended in acidity and needs time to soften and open. Lovely flavors of spiced pears give the wine a great future.

Larmandier-Bernier 1998 Vieilles Vignes de Cramant Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
Many of the vines that go to make this wine are 75 years old; others are 40 years old. It is an extra brut, very dry wine, with toast aromas and flavors of almonds and green plums. At this stage, it is very young, and certainly needs another five years before its richness and great elegance take charge.

Larmandier-Bernier NV Vertus Premier Cru Tradition Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $52
Great toasty aromas sweep out of the glass with this delicious wine. It has ripe fruit rather than high dosage, giving the richness of Chardonnay with tastes of white peaches and apricots. A fine wine. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

Larmandier-Bernier 2000 Vieille Vigne de Cramant Grand Cru Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $70
This blanc de blancs from biodynamic grower Pierre Larmandier is bone dry, packed with delicious white fruit flavors, very crisp, but also full and rich. There is a great mineral edge to it, which shows how well it will age, but enjoy it now as well.
