Vinous Tasting Note

Larmandier-Bernier's NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Longitude 1er Cru is a powerful, tightly wound wine that captures the inherent energy of these soils rich in limestone and chalk. The trademark Larmandier-Bernier breadth comes through, but it is also tempered by the wine's tightly wound sense of energy. Citrus, orchard fruit, dried herb and crushed flowers all develop nicely. Above all else, though, the Longitude is a wine of mineral-driven intensity and focus. Ideally, readers should be prepared to cellar this edition for at least another 2-3 years. The Longitude is a gorgeous, striking Champagne, but it is also one of the most reticent wines in this range. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2014.

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.
