June 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne Larmandier-Bernier Grand Cru Vieille Vigne du Levant is a grower Blanc de Blancs from old Chardonnay vines in Cramant, disgorged in June 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCramant is a grand cru of the Côte des Blancs, its chalk giving Chardonnay a taut, saline character that repays long ageing on lees. This cuvée was historically labelled Vieille Vigne de Cramant; only the name has changed, now taken from Bourron du Levant, the vineyard planted in 1960 that supplies the majority of the fruit. The balance comes from half a hectare in the neighbouring lieu-dit Le Fond du Bâteau, where the vines are around 75 years old. Pierre Larmandier's winemaking here follows the pattern used across the single-terroir wines: natural fermentation, full malolactic, twelve months in large Stockinger barrels and no filtration. What sets this cuvée apart is the time in bottle, a minimum of seven years on lees and closer to nine for this release, and the dosage is minimal at two grams per litre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is ready now and will develop for a further decade. Serve at 8–10°C in a white wine glass, with raw scallops, roast chicken or a mature Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
