LARMANDIER-BERNIER LATITUDE EXTRA BRUT CHAMPAGNE: Biodynamic Purity from the Côte des Blancs

The Latitude Extra Brut from Larmandier-Bernier is a superb example of a high-end Grower Champagne. It perfectly captures the spirit of the house: pure, mineral-driven wines crafted through decades of biodynamic farming. The name 'Latitude' refers to the southern Vertus plots, a generous terroir that yields Chardonnay with exceptional ripeness and a charming, rounded character.

Tasting Notes & Heritage

• Appearance: A lovely pale golden hue with a delicate and persistent mousse.
• Aroma: The bouquet is clean and rich, offering enticing layers of ripe apple and pear, bright grapefruit tension, and a subtle complexity of freshly baked bread and almond from its time in oak casks.
• Palate: Rich, full, and enveloping, this Blanc de Blancs avoids being heavy thanks to the bright, chalky acidity that runs through its core. The Extra Brut dosage (just 2-4g/L) allows the pure fruit and saline minerality to shine, culminating in a long, elegant finish.

A significant 40% of the blend comes from the estate’s perpetual reserve, ensuring consistency and depth. This is a definitive, high-quality Champagne that provides remarkable value for a biodynamic Blanc de Blancs.

Food Matching & Enjoyment

Latitude is a versatile wine, excellent as a celebratory glass or paired with refined cuisine. For the best experience, serve slightly chilled (10-12°C).

• Food Matches: Smoked Salmon Blinis, Classic Fish and Chips (with light batter), Freshly Shucked Oysters, or Goat's Cheese.
