Made entirely from Chardonnay grown along the celebrated north-to-south line of villages near the 4th meridian — Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant and Chouilly — the wine takes its name from this near-straight longitudinal axis of vineyards. Where the estate's Latitude is broad and generous, Longitude is linear, taut and intensely mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021-based release is composed of approximately 60% wine from the cool, energetic 2021 vintage together with 40% from the estate's perpetual reserve, established in 2004. Grapes are gently pressed before undergoing spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, then fermented and matured in wood on their natural lees without fining or filtration. After blending and tirage, the Champagne undergoes extended bottle maturation before disgorgement in April 2024 with a dosage of just 2 g\/L — firmly Extra Brut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eExpert Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Decanter:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"There's an extra dash of mineral energy and zesty length in this cuvée. Subtly creamy and peppery, yet fulsome in white peach, pear and lemon oil, it gains a savoury, umami depth from 40% addition of perpetual reserve.

Medium-bodied, taut and incisive in personality. Offers aromas of white flowers, citrus fruit and oyster shell. Tangy acidity, informed by the long and cool growing season, with mineral-laden undertones, leads to a chalky, long-lasting finish.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Wine Spectator:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Hints of lime blossom and pink grapefruit sorbet are a citrusy thread through this sleek, finely knit Champagne.

The palate is taut and energetic — tangy acidity framed by chalk, crushed stone, citrus peel and a delicate saline character. Elegant rather than broad, it finishes long, dry and exceptionally precise. This is classic Côte des Blancs Chardonnay: pure, linear and refreshing, with enough depth from the perpetual reserve to add complexity without sacrificing the wine's crystalline personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn outstanding aperitif and a natural partner for oysters, shellfish, sashimi, sushi, grilled white fish, scallops, fresh goat cheese and delicate poultry dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay (100%)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte des Blancs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVillages:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premier Cru\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanc de Blancs \/ Extra Brut\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 g\/L — Extra Brut\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~60% 2021 base wine, 40% perpetual reserve (est. 2004)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biodynamic \/ organic\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigenous yeasts; spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation; aged in wood on lees\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisgorgement:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 2024\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larmandier-Bernier\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53410445918491,"sku":"210000060883","price":81.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/Larmandier-BernierLongitudeBlancdeBlancsExtraBrut1erCru.png?v=1786991374","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/larmandier-bernier-longitude-blanc-de-blancs-extra-brut-1er-cru-base-2021-750ml-introductory-price","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
