Lunch with Larmandier-Bernier in Chicago
A La Fête du Champagne lunch at Obélix in Chicago featuring Arthur Larmandier and wines from Champagne Larmandier-Bernier.
About the event
The producer behind the lunch
Lunch with Larmandier-Bernier centers on a Côte des Blancs producer formally established in 1971 after the marriage of Philippe Larmandier and Elisabeth Bernier. Today, Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, joined by their son Arthur, farm just under eighteen hectares across Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Avize, and Vertus.
The family’s farming is described as organic and biodynamic, with a restrained cellar approach. The wines are described as texturally pure, chalky, mineral, precisely balanced, accessible young, and built to age for decades.
