Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Vivid and razor-sharp, driven by the pure chalk of the Côte des Blancs and an exceptionally restrained dosage.
Roundness
Present and enveloping, courtesy of the oak foudre élevage and the perpetual reserve wines.
Power
Measured and elegant, never opulent, in the upright style of a premier cru Blanc de Blancs.
Length
A saline, chalky finish of remarkable persistence — the hallmark of the Avize and Oger terroirs.

TASTING NOTES

Pale golden robe with green highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. A delicate nose of fresh chalk, candied lemon zest, white blossom and a light brioche note from the oak-aged élevage. On the palate, the attack is silky and precise, with chalky minerality asserting itself through the mid-palate before a long, saline and taut finish.

Terroirs

A blend of plots spread across the four premier cru villages of the Côte des Blancs — Vertus, Cramant, Avize and Oger — aligned along the 4th meridian, on soils of pure Senonian chalk. The cuvée incorporates 40% reserve wines drawn from a perpetual reserve established in 2004.

Larmandier-Bernier

About this house

A family domaine founded in Vertus by Pierre and Sophie Larmandier in 1988, and a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Champagne (Demeter certified). Their 11 hectares of vines are cultivated without herbicides or pesticides, with hand-harvesting and spontaneous fermentations using indigenous yeasts.

Élevage takes place exclusively in Austrian oak foudres and barrels (Stockinger), with no filtration or fining, in pursuit of the most direct expression of terroir possible. Pierre Larmandier is today a global reference in high-expression natural Champagne, with cuvées closely followed by the world's finest sommeliers.

Its chalky minerality and fine bubbles are a natural match for freshly baked comté gougères straight from the oven.

The freshness and precision of Longitude respond with elegance to the briny delicacy of a sea bass carpaccio.

The mineral tension and gentle oakiness of the wine magnify the vegetal and creamy notes of a green asparagus risotto.
