🏰Larmandier-Bernier's 2013 Grand Cru Extra Brut Les Chemins d'Avize is a 【profound vintage Champagne, showcasing exceptional purity and transparency from old Chardonnay vines in Avize's chalky Grand Cru terroir】. The 2013 vintage, a 'retro vintage' with a cooler, later harvest, produced wines of finesse and a healthy backbone of acidity. This dense and elegant Champagne offers a lovely nose of citrus oil, fresh apricot, peach, and pear, complemented by notes of fresh walnut and almond paste. It is full-bodied, deep, and vinous, with a concentrated core of ripe fruit, racy acids, and a long, mineral finish. 🍴 This exquisite Grand Cru Champagne calls for a grand dish, such as delicately roasted lobster, shellfish, crab, or other fine seafood. It also pairs beautifully with soft French cheeses or salty appetizers. 🥂 An outstanding choice for a significant celebration, a gourmet dinner, or a special occasion where a profound and terroir-driven vintage Champagne is desired.
