This cuvée has been produced since 2009 from two plots of old vines on the estate, exclusively from the Avize terroir. It produces a distinguished wine, characterized by its chalky, delicate style and refined aromas of white fruit. A great wine to accompany a great dish, such as roast lobster!

Rated estate (2026 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, accompanied by their son Arthur, have been cultivating 16 hectares biodynamically for over twenty years. Few wine estates, across all regions, can boast such consistency at this high level. The range is remarkably well maintained and offered at reasonable prices. Among the estate's legendary vintages, Vieille Vigne du Levant is undoubtedly a benchmark for the Côte des Blancs. The style boasts creamy textures where balance is a central value. This discreet elegance often reveals the very best that the Côte des Blancs has to offer. A highly sought-after address.

Wine rating (2023 guide) 95/100 Favorite 2014 vintage)
Rated estate (2026 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Although his family is originally from Cramant, Pierre Larmandier settled in Vertus and vinifies parcels spread across the grands crus of the Côte des Blancs, in Cramant (the sumptuous Vieille Vigne du Levant cuvée), Chouilly, Oger, and Avize. The result has been a magnificent Les Chemins d'Avize since 2009. Stainless steel and barrels have given way to oak casks in which the wines are vinified without yeast. The range showcases the hard work carried out in the vineyard (certified biodynamic).
