The 2015 Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Premier Cru Terre de Vertus Non Dose, a Champagne blend, hails from the renowned Champagne region of France. This white wine, produced by Larmandier-Bernier, showcases the unique terroir of the Barillers and Faucherests lieux-dits. The wine is vinified in neutral oak of various sizes and is bottled with no dosage, offering a pure expression of the vintage.

Vinous awarded this Champagne a score of 92, describing it as "a brilliant wine that combines textural richness and energy." The review notes that the aromatics were somewhat muted at the time of tasting in November 2021, but anticipates that this will improve with time, suggesting that the wine will be at its best between 2021 and 2028. The wine was disgorged in April 2021, adding a layer of complexity to its profile.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave the wine a slightly higher score of 93, highlighting its generous and complex aromatic profile. Reviewer WK described it as offering "aromas of peach, orange oil, ripe melon, white cherries, buttery pastry, orange oil and dried white flowers." The wine is praised for its full-bodied, layered, and fleshy character, with a vinous and muscular profile leading to a long, gently mordant finish. According to the review, it stands out as one of the more powerful wines in Larmandier-Bernier's range.

Both reviews agree on the wine's need for some aging to reach its full potential, and both highlight its rich texture and energetic profile. The absence of dosage and the use of neutral oak vinification are key factors in the wine's distinctive style, making it a noteworthy choice for enthusiasts of Champagne blends.

In summary, the 2015 Larmandier-Bernier Champagne Premier Cru Terre de Vertus Non Dose is a robust and complex Champagne with a promising aging potential. With excellent reviews from both Vinous and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this wine is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Larmandier-Bernier.
