Larmandier-Bernier’s Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut “Latitude” NV, with a base of 2021, is a rich and approachable expression of Chardonnay from the Premier Cru vineyards of Vertus in the Côte des Blancs. The name “Latitude” reflects the geographic orientation of the vineyard parcels, which are located on flatter, southern-facing slopes, lending a generous, round character to the wine. Produced with biodynamic practices and vinified in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak casks, “Latitude” is crafted in the Extra Brut style, allowing the wine’s natural texture and fruit purity to shine.

On the nose, “Latitude” reveals aromas of ripe apple, white peach, and citrus, with delicate floral and brioche undertones. The palate is supple and well-rounded, featuring flavors of orchard fruits, lemon zest, and a hint of almond. A creamy, fine mousse adds elegance, while the Extra Brut dosage keeps the finish dry and refreshing, underscoring the wine’s subtle minerality and chalky depth.

Ideal for pairing with seafood, soft cheeses, or roasted poultry, this cuvée is versatile and crowd-pleasing, combining finesse with a touch of richness. The 2021 base brings freshness and vibrancy, making “Latitude” a delightful choice for both casual enjoyment and refined occasions, capturing the essence of Larmandier-Bernier’s commitment to terroir-driven, accessible Champagne.
