This 2013 based Blanc de Blancs is understated, structured and ultra-elegant. Chardonnay sourced from the estate's biodynamically farmed Grand Cru plots in Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Barrel-fermented in 600L demi-muid Burgundy barrels with indigenous yeast and no dosage.
Situated in Avize, in the heart of the Côte des Blancs, Waris-Larmandier was founded in 1989 by 5th generation grower Marie-Hélène Larmandier and her husband Vincent Waris. Jean-Philippe joined his family's domaine 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 vineyards. Jean-Philippe is a passionate evangelist of better farming methods and absolute respect for each individual terroir. His 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.
