€ 76.61Vanaf 12 stuks €69.64

100% Chardonnay de Vertus.

Deze cuvée « Non Dosée » laat ons proeven van een schitterende goudgele Champagne, met fijne neus, levendig, fruitig en mineraliteit. De aanzet in de mond is verbluffend en met een raszuivere stijl, fijn, rijk en sierlijk. Eerlijke Champagne die uitblinkt in finesse en lengte. Ideale kompaan bij oesters en fijn gesneden Pata Negra.

Vinous – Antonio Galloni –  92/100
We commenced with champagne, courtesy of the 2014 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Terre de Vertus from Larmandier-Bernier, which undergoes at least five years’ aging on the lees without any dosage and features a light pétillance. The bouquet requires two or three minutes to find its groove, eventually offering enticing scents of white peach and almond; a hint of lemon sherbet comes through with time. It is elegant and displays commendable weight (not a Zen-like champagne). A crisp sour lemon note lends sufficient tension toward the finish. Beautiful.

The Wine Advocate – 94/100
Disgorged in 2018 with minimal dosage, the 2013 Brut Nature Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Terre de Vertus unfurls with notes of lemon oil, oyster shell, pastry cream and crisp green apple that gains in definition and purity with time in the glass. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a pinpoint mousse, lovely venosity, fine depth at the core and a mouthwateringly saline, chalky and decidedly dry finish. As usual, this is a classy and distinctive bottling from Larmandier-Bernier.
