How to serve it
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with a persistent, fine mousse. Citrus peel, white flowers and ripe pear lead the nose, backed by hazelnut and chalk. The palate is broad yet linear, with creamy texture, firm acidity and a dry, saline close. Energy and length mark the finish.
About this wine
Larmandier-Bernier is a grower-producer based in Vertus, at the southern end of the Côte des Blancs, with 18 hectares farmed organically and biodynamically. The estate bottles Champagne as a wine rather than a formula, with only a minimal dosage.
Longitude is a Blanc de Blancs drawn entirely from Premier Cru and Grand Cru Chardonnay in Vertus, Cramant, Chouilly and Oger. Fermentation begins with native yeasts in a mix of oak casks and stainless steel, the wine completes malolactic fermentation and rests on its lees for around three years before release.
The magnum format gives the wine a slower, finer maturation.
