Vinous Tasting Note

The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Latitude is a big, vinous wine. Bold, ample and large on the palate, the Latitude exudes power. Dried apricot, roasted nuts and spices are pushed forward in a rich, creamy wine that reflects the personality of these clay-rich soils on the southern edge of Vertus. With time in the glass, the Latitude gains freshness, volume and intensity. The current release is 60% 2013, with 40% reserve wines. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: January 2016.

About the Producer

About the Producer

The Champagne Larmandier-Bernier estate is a shining star of the Côte des Blancs. This family-run house, established for several generations, has forged a reputation for excellence thanks to champagnes of great purity and striking minerality. As early as the 1990s, Pierre Larmandier was a pioneer in adopting environmentally friendly farming practices, converting the estate to biodynamics to reveal the most authentic expression of Chardonnay. The Larmandier-Bernier style is distinguished by remarkable finesse and minimalist dosage, favoring the wine's natural balance. Among the flagship cuvées is the Terre de Vertus Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Non-Dosé, a vibrant expression of the Vertus terroir. Les Chemins d'Avize Grand Cru Extra Brut and Vieilles Vignes du Levant Grand Cru Extra Brut are single-plot cuvées that magnify the Avize terroir. We also appreciate the Longitude Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut and the Latitude Extra Brut, reflections of the house's expertise, as well as the vinous and fruity Rosé de Saignée Premier Cru Extra Brut. A range of champagnes of great elegance, which brilliantly celebrate the typicity of their terroirs.
