Tasting notes for the Champagne "Longitude" 1er Cru Extra Brut - Larmandier-Bernier (Magnum)

  • EYE: The Longitude 1er cru champagne reveals an elegant golden hue, enlivened by fine and persistent bubbles that tirelessly rise in the glass, creating a sparkling and dynamic ballet.
  • NOSE: This champagne offers a complex and expressive bouquet, marked by aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, and a subtle touch of fresh almond. Mineral notes add an additional depth, anticipating the richness to come on the palate.
  • MOUTH: The initial freshness gives way to a lively and finely structured palate. Flavors of green apple, candied lemon, and hazelnut unfold, highlighting the pure expression of Chardonnay. The remarkably long finish leaves a subtle imprint of saline minerality.

 

In short: The Champagne Longitude 1er Cru Extra Brut from the maison Larmandier-Bernier charmed us with its golden robe, floral and fruity nose, and lively and refined palate. The harmony between freshness and complexity makes it an exceptional cuvée, delicately expressing the terroir of the Côte des Blancs from which it originates. Its structure allows for enjoyable consumption now, but the magnum format grants it the potential to further evolve over a period of 5 to 10 years. This Champagne pairs wonderfully with fresh oysters or delicate sushi.

Organic Champagne from the Côte des Blancs

 

The Champagne estate of Larmandier-Bernier, with roots tracing back to 1765, is firmly established in Vertus. In the heart of the Côte des Blancs, a region renowned all over the world for its exceptional white champagnes, Philippe Larmandier and his wife Elisabeth Bernier founded their vineyard in 1971. The Larmandier-Bernier family fully embraced biodynamic viticulture in 1999, thanks to their son Pierre Larmandier (who has been working at the family estate since 1988). He committed to preserving the natural balance of the vineyard through environmentally friendly practices, sustainable agricultural methods, and harmony with natural cycles.

The vineyards of the Larmandier-Bernier estate span 18 hectares across prestigious village appellations like Vertus, Cramant, Avize, and Oger, where the Chardonnay grape predominantly thrives. The estate produces iconic cuvées such as "Latitude" Blanc de Blancs, "Longitude" Blanc de Blancs, and "Vieille Vigne du Levant," benefiting from old vines. The winemaking is characterized by traditional methods, often with fermentation in oak casks and a minimal approach to sulfur addition. The champagnes of the house are also very lightly dosed.

Recognized for both the exceptional quality of its champagnes and its sustainable viticultural practices, House Larmandier-Bernier holds a prominent place in the wine scene. In 2003, Pierre Larmandier was even named "Winemaker of the Year" by the Gault & Millau guide. The estate's wines are regularly acclaimed by critics and featured in some of the finest restaurants worldwide. Since 2017, the future of the family is secured with Arthur Larmandier joining his parents at the estate, followed by his brother Georges in 2021.
