LARMANDIER-BERNIER LATITUDE EXTRA BRUT CHAMPAGNE: The Generous Heart of Grower Blanc de Blancs

Larmandier-Bernier’s Latitude Extra Brut is an iconic Grower Champagne, a testament to the domaine’s biodynamic philosophy: purity, minerality, and authentic terroir expression. Named for its origin in the generous, south-facing Chardonnay plots of Vertus, this cuvée delivers a unique roundness and rich, charming style.

Tasting Profile & Winemaking Excellence

• Color: Pale gold with a fine, elegant stream of bubbles.
• Nose: Intensely pure and inviting, with dominant notes of ripe orchard fruit (golden apple, pear), bright citrus zest, and an undercurrent of fresh bread and brioche from the Stockinger cask aging.
• Palate: Full-bodied and fleshy, the wine’s rich fruit core is beautifully balanced by the crystalline freshness and chalky tension of the Côte des Blancs. The low Extra Brut dosage (2-4g/L) ensures a dry, pure finish that is both saline and persistent.

As a non-vintage wine, Latitude benefits from a significant 40% blend of perpetual reserve wines (started in 2004), adding extraordinary depth and complexity. This is a powerful, structured Blanc de Blancs that demands attention.

Pairing Suggestions & Serving

This Champagne is perfect as a sophisticated aperitif or a versatile dining companion. Serve chilled (50-54°F / 10-12°C) in a standard wine glass to allow its aromas to fully develop.

• Pairings: Buttery Warm Lobster Rolls (Connecticut-style), Pan-Seared Scallops, Crab Cakes, or elegant Fried Chicken.
