Welcome to the part one of our mini series "Champagne: Meet the Growers", in which we introduce you to some amazing Grower Champagne Domaines.

We welcome Arthur Larmandier of Domaine Larmandier-Bernier to The Premier Cru! Larmandier-Bernier make quintessential Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. They started in the 1970s and have become one of the leading Grower Champagne Domaines. Simply put, Grower Champagne does not get much better than Larmandier-Bernier.

On the episode we discuss:

• The history of the Domaine
• The terroir of the Côte des Blancs and why it is so well suited to Chardonnay
• Their approach to viticulture and winemaking to get the best terroir expression in their wines
