Wine Information

Our old vines in Cramant face south-east and are blessed with an exceptional terroir. They are aged between 48 and over 75 years old. Their deep root system and the diversity of the old stocks contribute to the complexity of the wine.

Like 2003, 2004 was a viticultural year full of extremes.

The beginning of the year was quiet, with no frosts. The bunch-setting was good, perhaps too good. After the severe frosts of the previous year, it ...

Vintage 2004

A great example of how large yields do not necessarily mean poor quality in Champagne. As a reaction to the previous year's low yields, the vines produced one of the largest crops on record. The growing season proceeded without major difficulties but the bumper crop called for bud thinning. August brought about cooler weather and some rains, increasing the risk of rot.

Written Notes

Pale lemon yellow, small bubbles. Apples, minerals, fresh and fruity nose, has some depth, ripe fruits. Fresh acidity, elegant mousse, lovely apples freshness, pure, detailed and elegant, long.

Familjen har länge ägt några hektar med mycket gamla chardonnaystockar i Cramant. Vid 1990 års skörd bestämde Pierre Larmandier sig för att göra en exklusiv champagne endast från dessa 80-åriga stockar. Resultatet är en champagne som kommer att bli legendarisk. Numera är hela vinifikationen biodynamisk. TASTINGNOTE Supersnyggt och ultrasofistikerat från start. Kanske lite för mycket sten och banan när man närmar sig skönheten i dess ungdom. Ändå en omisskännlig krämighet och klassisk kvalitativ höjdarnivå rakt igenom hela upplevelsen.
