Larmandier-Bernier Longitude Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Magnum

Larmandier-Bernier’s Longitude is a Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut made entirely from Chardonnay, with fruit drawn from four Côte des Blancs villages that lie close to the fourth meridian. Its name reflects that distinctive north–south line, while a blend of current-vintage wines and a reserve perpetual begun in 2004 gives this non-vintage Champagne both freshness and continuity.

Tasting Notes
The Côte des Blancs origins and Extra Brut style suggest a poised, fresh profile, with Chardonnay’s citrus and orchard-fruit character balanced by the richer, more layered notes that can develop in Champagne. The reserve perpetual adds aromatic complexity over time, while each release retains some variation from its current-vintage component. Specific tasting notes and disgorgement details are not provided. Like other quality Blanc de Blancs Champagne, it can be enjoyed on release or cellared for further development; the magnum format is particularly well suited to gradual maturation.

Production
The Chardonnay comes from Grand Cru villages Cramant, Avize and Oger, as well as Premier Cru Vertus, stretching across much of the Côte des Blancs. The grapes are farmed biodynamically and hand-harvested, then gently pressed. Each blend combines around 60% base wines from the current vintage with 40% from a reserve perpetual established in 2004; further vinification details are not specified.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish or delicate dishes featuring lemon and herbs. It also pairs naturally with aged hard cheeses. Decanting is usually unnecessary, though a brief rest in the glass can help the wine open; avoid serving it too cold if you want to appreciate its finer aromas.

Producer

The estate is known for its commitment to biodynamic viticulture and for expressing the character of its Chardonnay vineyards through grower Champagnes.
