Larmandier-Bernier Blanc de Blancs “Latitude”, NV, Champagne, France

Previously, this cuve was called “Tradition”, a name that was chosen in the 1970s by Pierres parents. The new name Latitude was selected since the wine is composed exclusively of Chardonnays originating from the same latitude: the south of Vertus, where Pinot noir was historically planted. This is a generous terroir resulting in a round, rich, charming style, which still retains the characteristic pureness of the estates Champagnes. Pierre believes the wine posseses “pinot-like” characteristics such as red fruit flavors and bredth on the palate — despite it being 100% Chardonnay — which he attributes to this unique terroir. 4 gr/l dosage (Base 2020)
