Tasting notes

Pale gold with a fine, insistent bead. The nose opens on lemon zest, white peach and almond, with chalk dust and a hint of toasted bread. The palate is vinous and tightly wound, its ripe fruit framed by cutting acidity and a saline, stony texture. The finish is long, dry and distinctly mineral.

About this wine

Larmandier-Bernier farms 18 hectares around Vertus and Avize in the Côte des Blancs, working organically since 2003 and biodynamically since 1999. Pierre Larmandier treats Champagne as a wine of place rather than a blended brand.

Les Chemins d'Avize comes from Chardonnay vines on the Grand Cru slopes of Avize, where chalk sits close to the surface. The juice ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in oak casks, malolactic fermentation is allowed to run its course, and the wine matures on its lees for several years before disgorgement with a minimal Extra Brut dosage.

The result is a vinous, unfiltered Champagne built on chalk rather than sugar.
