Larmandier-Bernier, 'Latitude' Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs NV

Variety: Chardonnay For eight generations now, the Larmandier family has been breathing life into the Cote de Blanc region in Champagne. The most refreshing aspect to the family's winemaking aesthetic is that they don't aspire to be different, though their aim to make wines without a recipe certainly makes them so. In the Cote de Blanc, Chardonnay is their main medium while chalk is the canvas where they create. The estate farms biodynamically which only accentuates the crisp and clean style their family has become known for in the village of Vertus in the Vallée de la Marne. Latitude gets its name from the 49.3° north latitude line that runs through Larmandier-Bernier’s Chardonnay vineyards around Vertus. Made from Premier Cru Chardonnay grown on chalk soils, this Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut captures the precision and purity that define the estate. Aged on lees and crafted with a focus on freshness and texture, it is a beautiful expression of Côte des Blancs Champagne.
