Larmandier-Bernier BdB Extra Brut Vieille Vigne du Levant 2014

Marco Andretti — Best champagne I've ever had

10/10

My wife's colleague recommended Larmandier-Bernier and we finally tried this 2014. The nose hits you straight away, really clear and layered, not shy at all. The finish goes on forever, like genuinely had to stop and appreciate it before pouring more. I get why it costs what it costs.

Aria Kim — Dinner party hero

9/10

Opened this for a small dinner party with close friends and it was the star of the evening. Everyone kept commenting on how long the taste lingered after each sip. Bone dry which I love, none of that sugary champagne sweetness. Would definitely buy again for special occasions.

Zoe Chen — Really nice but maybe not for me

7/10

The wine shop guy talked me into this over my usual Veuve and it's definitely more complex and interesting. Very dry though — I think I actually prefer a bit more sweetness in my champagne? The aromatics were gorgeous, I'll give it that. Just not sure I'd spend £148 again when I know what I like.
