LARMANDIER-BERNIER Les Chemins d'Avize, a Blanc de Blancs for connoisseurs. The terroir of Grand Cru Avize deserves a unique cuvée. The plots are located in the heart of the village of Avize in the "Chemin de Plivot" and "Chemin de Flavigny" areas. Here the soil is very poor, with chalk outcroppings. The 60-year-old vines draw delicate floral characters and a unique mineral density from this soil.

The grapes are gently pressed and the juices are very lightly settled before being directly put into barrels. Natural alcoholic fermentation (indigenous yeasts) and malolactic fermentation start spontaneously in Stockinger barrels and vats. The wines are aged on natural lees for the first year without filtration or fining.

The bottles are taken down into the coolness of the cellars where the second fermentation and aging on laths take place for at least an additional 6 years. Each bottle is manually disgorged 1 year before commercialization. The dosage is only 2g/l (extra-brut).

Only a small allocation has reached us; we are pleased to be able to offer you this exquisite Champagne in limited quantities.
