Discover Champagne mapped by geography, not by blending house rules. Pierre Larmandier’s Longitude Blanc de Blancs traces a single line of chalk across the Côte des Blancs—from Vertus through Avize, Cramant, and Oger along the 4th meridian—creating a pure expression of terroir rather than tradition. This biodynamic pioneer (organic since 1992, biodynamic since 1999) uses 100% Chardonnay, wild yeasts, and 40% solera wine dating to 2004, then rests in neutral oak. The 1.5L magnum delivers zesty grapefruit and pithy lemon notes with toasted brioche richness and a chalky, mineral finish—an elegant reminder that Champagne’s greatest luxury is precision, not prestige.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93

"The NV (2021) Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Longitude 1er Cru shows the lighter, airier side of the year. Crushed rocks, lemon peel, white pepper, slate and chalk all confer brightness. This sculpted, saline Blanc de Blancs is impeccable. The Longitude is a blend of parcels in Vertus, Cramant, Avize and Oger. Dosage is 2 grams per liter. Disgorged: April 2024; multiple disgorgements throughout the year." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 92

"A considerable increase in intensity and tension compared to Latitude, Larmandier's excellent NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Longitude is crafted from a 2021 vintage base (60%) and combined with a perpetual reserve component. Disgorged in April 2024 with two grams per liter dosage, it is medium-bodied, taut and incisive in personality. Sourced from the villages of Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant and Chouilly, it offers aromas of white flowers, citrus fruit and oyster shell. Tangy acidity, informed by the long and cool growing season, with mineral-laden undertones, leads to a chalky, long-lasting finish. Expect a tauter, less ample Champagne compared to the last year’s edition." -Kristaps Karklins

Decanter

D 93

"There's an extra dash of mineral energy and zesty length in this cuvée Longitude, which brings together fruit from Larmandier-Bernier's home village of Vertus with other fruit from the Côte des Blancs, over the true entry level Latitude that tends to make it worth trading up. Subtly creamy and peppery, yet fulsome in white peach, pear and lemon oil, it gains a savoury, umami depth from 40% addition of perpetual reserve. Always a model non-vintage blanc de blancs."

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!
