Tasting notes
The ‘Longitude’ Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut by Larmandier-Bernier is a precise and elegant Champagne crafted from Premier Cru vineyards along the Côte des Blancs. It opens with vibrant aromas of citrus, green apple, and a delicate hint of brioche. On the palate, it is crisp and mineral-driven, offering flavors of lemon zest and apple, supported by a fine creamy texture. The finish is long, refreshing, and defined by vibrant acidity, reflecting both the terroir and the house’s signature finesse.
More About The Winery
Larmandier-Bernier is a family grower estate with 18 hectares of biodynamically farmed vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, spanning the Grand Cru villages of Cramant, Chouilly, Oger, Avize, and the Premier Cru of Vertus. Though the Larmandier and Bernier families trace their roots back to the French Revolution, the estate was officially founded in 1971, and since 1988 has been led by Pierre and Sophie Larmandier.
Pioneers of organic viticulture since 1992 and fully biodynamic since 1999, the domaine is acclaimed for its authentic terroir-driven Champagnes. Indigenous yeasts, minimal or no dosage, vinification in large oak foudres or Burgundian barrels, and extended lees aging yield wines of striking purity, minerality, and depth.
With older Chardonnay vines averaging 35 years (and up to 70 in Cramant), the wines reflect the essence of their prestigious terroirs. A perpetual reserve started in 2004 adds further complexity to their blends. Today, Larmandier-Bernier stands as one of Champagne’s leading artisan houses, crafting cuvées that rank among the region’s finest.
