Larmandier-Bernier’s Longitude is a Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs Champagne that brings together Chardonnay from across the Côte des Blancs in a precise, Extra Brut style. Its name refers to the vineyards’ alignment near the fourth meridian, while a perpetual reserve begun in 2004 lends continuity and growing complexity to this non-vintage cuvée.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, with a fine, persistent stream of bubbles. The nose is expected to show fresh citrus, orchard fruit and chalky, lightly floral notes, developing hints of brioche and toasted nuts with time in the glass.
Production
The Chardonnay comes from Grand Cru villages Cramant, Avize and Oger, as well as Premier Cru Vertus, spanning much of the Côte des Blancs. The grapes are farmed biodynamically and hand-harvested before gentle pressing. Each blend combines around 60% base wines from the latest harvest with 40% drawn from a perpetual reserve established in 2004, balancing vintage character with a consistent house style.
Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, with oysters, scallops, sushi or simply prepared white fish; its dry, mineral character also suits aged Comté. A short rest in the glass can help the aromas unfold, while decanting is generally unnecessary. Enjoy now for its freshness or cellar carefully for added complexity.
Producer
Pierre and Sophie Larmandier lead the family domaine in Vertus, in the Côte des Blancs, where Chardonnay is central to the estate’s identity. The house is known for its biodynamic approach and for crafting terroir-focused Champagnes that express the character of their individual vineyard sites.
