Description

A generous and refined Blanc de Blancs Champagne

The estate

Located in the Côte des Blancs terroir, the Champagne Larmandier-Bernier House has been cultivating vines for over 8 generations. Since 1988, Pierre Larmandier has been at the helm of the family’s 18-hectare estate, driven by the ambition to produce exceptional cuvées that authentically express the purity of Champagne terroirs.

The abandonment of chemical products, soil plowing, use of indigenous yeasts, and extended aging on lees in barrels and large casks are all decisive choices that give Larmandier-Bernier’s cuvées a rare and distinctive minerality and expression of terroir.

The vineyard

The Latitude Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs cuvée from Larmandier-Bernier comes from vines averaging 35 years old, cultivated for more than 20 years using biodynamic methods and with total respect for the Champagne terroir. This cuvée was historically named “Tradition.”

Winemaking and aging

Produced since 2004, this Blanc de Blancs Champagne by Larmandier-Bernier is made up of 40% reserve wines.

Gentle pressing precedes settling and barreling. Natural alcoholic fermentation is followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels and large casks, as is the first one-year aging on lees. After blending, the wine undergoes at least an additional 2 years of maturation in bottle in the cool cellars of the estate. Disgorgement takes place 6 months before release. This Extra Brut Champagne is dosed at 4 g/liter.

Grape variety

Chardonnay (100%)
