Champagne Larmandier-Bernier ★ 4.5
Pierre and Sophie Larmandier farm Cote des Blancs Chardonnay at Vertus organically, farming organically from the 1990s and biodynamically from 1999. The estate produces taut, low-dosage blanc de blancs that are benchmarks of chalk-driven Champagne.
Tip: Latitude is the village-level gateway; Terre de Vertus non-dose is the zero-dosage single-village cuvee from southern Vertus.
