From our Kauai visit thread:
2011 Larmandier-Bernier VV du Levant. I’ve been praising this wine on the champagne thread since release, and despite drinking in a terrible rental condo glass, this is the best showing to date. Dense lemon, buttered almond, brioche. A bold BdB with a silky mouthfeel. @Frank_Murray_III led me to discover this winery. He once organized a Zoom tasting with Aurthur Larmandier that I attended early in the pandemic. In fact, I opened this particular wine. Despite my late discovery of his wines, they are in the top ten holdings of champagne in my cellar.
