Champagne LARMANDIER-BERNIER
Longitude 1er cru - Blanc de blancs
- ----
- Champagne
Pierre and Sophie Larmandier are among the precursors of biodynamic wines. On their 16 ha vineyard in the south of the Côte des Blancs, they produce champagnes of exemplary naturalness and frankness. Very low (or even no) dosage because they are made from perfectly ripe grapes, their vintages express with precision the aromatic intensity and the delicacy of the greatest chardonnays of Champagne. In short, Larmandier-Bernier obtains with its chardonnays what Égly-Ouriet achieves with its pinots noirs.
Cuvée 100% chardonnay.
Rated 15,5/20 by the Revue du Vin de France « Très bel élan salin avec une sensation pulpeuse » (Dec. 2019)
Rated 94/100 by Antonio Galloni (Vinous) « The NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Longitude 1er Cru sizzles with tension and energy. [...] It is the wine's pure drive and texture that stand out most. This is a fabulous showing. » (Nov. 2020)
- To keep or to drink :
- Ready to drink

- 2023-2030
