WARIS-LARMANDIER "PARTICULES CRAYEUSES" GRAND CRU BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS CHAMPAGNE

WARIS-LARMANDIER "PARTICULES CRAYEUSES" GRAND CRU EXTRA BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS CHAMPAGNE, FRANCE. 100% Chardonnay. (Biodynamic)

Specializing in Blanc de Blancs wines, the Waris-Larmandier style is understated, structured and ultra-elegant. This fantactic Champagne comes from 40+ years old vines in the Grand Cru villages of Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger on chalky soils. Barrel-fermented with indigenous yeast in 600L demi-muid Burgundy barrels and Avize Champagne barrels. No dosage.

About:Situated in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, Waris-Larmandier was founded in 1989 by 5th genera-tion grower Marie-Hélène Larmandier and her husband Vincent Waris. Following Vincent’s passing, Marie-Hé-lène continued with the business while also managing her family estate of Guy Larmandier. Their young son Jean-Philippe joined her in 2010, taking charge of the vineyards and the winemaking at Waris-Larmandier. He immediately began the conversion to organic and biodynamic farming practices in all of the family’s 7ha of vineyards. Jean-Philippe is a passionate evangelist of better farming methods and absolute respect for each individual terroir, not only utilizing these methods at Waris-Lar-mandier but also by helping other vineyard owners convert to biodynamic agriculture. Jean-Philippe’s quest for excellence has led him to experiment with lesser-known historic grape varieties, extended periods of aging, utilizing local barrels from Avize as well as separating single-vineyard parcels.

The next chapter of the Waris-Larmandier estate lies in their exploration of Grand Cru villages through limited releases of old-vine lieux-dits Champagnes, featuring vineyards planted in 1895, 1903 and a special parcel planted by Jean Waris in 1939 near the winery called Porte de Bas. With all three siblings now living and working in the village of Avize, each is contributing to the future vision of the project, which includes transforming their holdings to polyculture with a biodynamic vegetable garden, among many others. The future of Champagne is indeed bright in the Waris-Larmandier family. (Importer)
