Walked into a LWS and randomly saw these on the shelf. Prices were pretty nice as well.

a bottle of Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Grand Cru Vieille Vigne du Levant 2012. Tell me about it.
Yes
Iāve opened a couple of the 08 recently and think itās in a great spot. As is the 10. LB makes the wine in a more approachable style so you can go either way with drinking now or holding it 3-6 years. FWIW they consider 2012 to be one of the most difficult growing seasons in the recent past, along with 2016 and 2021, but Iām not sure how that translates to quality because I think all the bottles of 2012 Chemins dāAvize and Longitude Iāve had were excellent. Definitely more open than more classic vintages like 2013 and 2014 that will benefit from more time. I didnāt hesitate to buy the Cramant. Havenāt tried yet, but am looking forward to it. Iāll probably bury my bottles for a few years unless I stumble on a spare one sooner.

Iād give 2012 L-B more time. Like 5+ more years. I think L-B higher end wines round out with bottle age. If opening now, be very patient.
2016 Cramant was great to drink rn, but Iām not sure if I should be looking for more at current prices, especially since hearing that 2019 Longitude is very good.

Thanks. Will likely open it tomorrow.
Iām thinking you read my CT note on the 2019 Longitudeā¦ I need to open another bottle to see if itās really as good as I think it is. Iāve gone through cases of Longitude and I was floored by this one.

Haha that CT note really took my attention, especially since I quite liked 2016. Havenāt had the chance to taste 2012. I looked hard but 2019 doesnāt seem to be available in my area yet. Having a 2018 as Iām writing this nowā¦tightly wound as you said and very vinous with stemmy feel but what an amazing mouthfeel!
2019 Henri Germain Meursault AOC
(Last night I opened Germainās '17 and '18 Charmes and both were magnificent. I need to load up before we lose Germain to White Burg insanity.)
