Larmandier-Bernier

Cramant Nature 2008 Coteaux Champenois Blanc Grand Cru 

* the inaugural vintage of Larmandier-Bernier's Grand Cru Cramant Coteaux Champenois Blanc (still white wine from the Champagne region);

* 100% old vine Chardonnay; biodynamic viticulture; fermentation with indigenous yeasts in oak foudres.

Tasted in July, 2015

This shows its best in Chablis glass.

A dramatic contrast between a creamy, caressing, relaxed mouthfeel (lovely, oak-boosted texture) and an intense, demanding core (piercing acidity & steely minerality), between delicious ripeness (glycerin-rich white & yellow fruits) and racy clarity (zesty green citrus & saline mineral).

A celebration of Coteaux Champenois tradition through old vine concentration, conscientious viticulture, a grand vintage and mastery handling of oak foudres, showcasing Cramant Chardonnay signature finesse, dimensional plentitude & real depth of flavor.
