Larmandier-Bernier, Longitude Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Premier Cru, NV 2021
Longitude is Larmandier-Bernier’s most linear and mineral expression of Chardonnay, sourced exclusively from Premier Cru vineyards along the Côte des Blancs, primarily Vertus. The cuvée reflects the domaine’s biodynamic farming and measured cellar work, with native-yeast fermentation and aging in large, neutral oak to build texture without obscuring site character. Finished with very low dosage, the focus here is clarity, tension, and precision.
The release opens with lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers, followed by a pronounced chalky minerality. The palate is focused and energetic, driven by vibrant acidity and a saline edge that carries through the finish. Clean, composed, and quietly persistent, Longitude is a pure, site-driven Blanc de Blancs that emphasizes structure over breadth.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Premier Cru, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Farming: Biodynamically farmed
Style: Sparkling. Linear, mineral-driven, and precise
