Of all the Larmandier-Bernier Champagnes, Latitude is the one the family calls festive, and a magnum of it is exactly what you want when a crowd shows up. It's pure Chardonnay, all from the same "latitude" in the south of Vertus, which is where the name comes from. That part of the village was historically Pinot Noir country, and its deep topsoil gives this Blanc de Blancs a round, rich, almost Pinot-like generosity. Pierre Larmandier's parents named the cuvée "Tradition" in the 1970s, and the family later renamed it Latitude to better describe that charming style. This bottling is built on the 2019 harvest. That year brought spring frost and a 42°C heatwave in July, but a sunny September with cold nights let the family pick late, and they brought in sound grapes with a balance of ripeness and acidity they called "great and unprecedented." The house ferments on indigenous yeasts in foudres and Burgundian barrels and keeps the dosage at Extra Brut level. The result is a crowd-pleaser that still tastes like it came from a serious biodynamic grower.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Gougères, buttermilk fried chicken, lobster rolls, Dungeness crab with drawn butter, roast chicken with tarragon, or a wedge of aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect a rounder, more generous take on Blanc de Blancs: ripe lemon, yellow apple and pear, with a touch of brioche and a creamy texture from fermentation in wooden casks. Fine bubbles and chalky freshness keep it lively, and the Extra Brut dosage leaves a dry, mineral finish. Think the richness of a Pinot Noir-based Champagne with Chardonnay's precision.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
