Champagne Larmandier-Bernier is one of the Côte des Blancs' finest producers. Though both families trace their roots in the region to the French Revolution, the domaine was formally established with the marriage of Philippe Larmandier and Elisabeth Bernier in 1971. Today, Pierre and Sophie Larmandier — joined by their son Arthur — farm just under eighteen hectares across the Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, and Avize, as well as the premier cru village of Vertus, their home base.

The family’s uncompromising approach to farming – organic & biodynamic – and restrained approach in the cellar creates wines of remarkable textural purity, chalky minerality, and precise balance: accessible young, yet built to age for decades.

Arthur Larmandier will present a magnificent array of wines at this lunch at brothers Oliver & Nicolas Poilevey’s beloved restaurant Obélix, from a vertical of the profound brut nature Terre de Vertus, to the family’s precious Grands Crus of Les Chemins d’Avize (two prime parcels in Avize) and Vieille Vigne du Levant (from old vines in Cramant, some of which are over 80 years old), to a rare taste of Coteaux Champenois Rouge from Vertus.
