Guy Larmandier Brut Zero Cramant Blanc De Blancs
Description: | Founded in 1977, Guy Larmandier has been a Hi-Time staff favorite for Chardonnay Champagnes since the early 1980s. The operation of the house is now in the capable hands of Francois Larmandier whose watchwords are 'rigor, accuracy, and precision'. His mission is to create terroir-infused base wines and then employ Champagne method bubbles to augment that expression. This a mono-cru blanc de blancs sourced exclusively from the family's 8-acre vineyard in the Grand Cru of Cramant which, of course, is ground zero for top-flight Chardonnay in Champagne. With more than three years aging sur lattes, this brut zero is not austere; rather, it's a Champagne that grabs one's attention with its stirring play of crunchy lemon, grapefruit and white peach fruit that becomes subsumed in the finish by a salivating salt-tinged minerality. This is a truly fabulous aperitif or sushi bubbly-- at a great below-market price-- that could only have arisen from the heart of the Ctes de Blancs. Disgorged 03/22 with 0 g/l. |
