Now run with the next generation, the house owns old-vine Grand Cru Chardonnay in Chouilly, Cramant, Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and has been certified biodynamic by Demeter since 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticules Crayeuses – 'chalk particles' – is the estate's flagship Blanc de Blancs and a textbook expression of Côte des Blancs chalk. It is 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from vines of 40 years and older, fermented with native yeasts partly in steel and partly in 600-litre Burgundy demi-muids, and blended with around 30% reserve wine from a perpetual solera begun in 2013. After 24–36 months on the lees it is finished Extra Brut and bottled at a lower pressure than most Champagne, giving an unusually creamy, silky mousse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright straw-gold, the nose shows chalk and citrus, lemon curd, yellow plum and pear tart, with hints of vanilla, white nougat and buttered toast. The palate is creamy yet taut, with ripe yellow fruit, vivid acidity and real Grand Cru mineral power, finishing long and dry with almond, lime and a touch of bread crust. Outstanding with oysters, shellfish and fish carpaccio. Serve at 8–10°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France  |  \u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Cru  |  \u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs)  |  \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra Brut  |  \u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e NV  |  \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%  |  \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waris-Larmandier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57667341254996,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/9419\/3492\/files\/Waris-Larmandier_ParticulesCrayeusesExtraBrutGrandCruNV.png?v=1792238356","url":"https:\/\/whiskybrokersassociates.co.uk\/products\/waris-larmandier-particules-crayeuses-extra-brut-grand-cru-blanc-de-blancs-nv-75cl","provider":"Whisky Brokers Associates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
