Vineyards
[edit]Larmandier-Bernier has fifteen hectares under vine, including the Côte des Blancs Grand Cru villages Cramant, Chouilly, Oger and Avize, and the premier cru village of Vertus.[2] Most of the family's vineyards are planted to Chardonnay, and about 15% are planted to Pinot Noir. The average age of the vines is 33 years.[1]
