Larmandier-Bernier
Larmandier-Bernier
The Larmandier and Bernier families have deep roots in the Côte des Blancs, and the joined estate took its modern form in 1971. Pierre and Sophie Larmandier developed the domaine around Chardonnay vineyards in Vertus and neighbouring villages. Their sons Arthur and Georges joined the family work in 2017 and 2021, adding a new generation without obscuring their parents’ continuing roles.
The estate farms roughly nineteen hectares and has worked biodynamically since 1999, with certification recorded through Biodyvin. Parcel origin, vintage and reserve-wine composition differ among cuvées, so no one technical sheet defines the whole producer. Today Pierre and Sophie Larmandier work vineyards across the Côte des Blancs, including Vertus, Cramant and Avize.
