Larmandier-Bernier Longitude

Historically, since the beginning of the 20th century, this cuvée had gone under the name of ?Blanc de Blancs?. ?Longitude? originates exclusively from the Chardonnay grapes grown on the Côte des Blancs: Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant, which form a line close to the 4th meridian. This non-vintage cuvée contains 40% of wines coming from our perpetual reserve begun in 2004. The grapes are pressed gently, the juices are clarified very slightly and then go directly into wood. The natural alcoholic fermentation (indigenous yeasts) and the malolactic fermentation begin spontaneously in the Stockinger casks and vats. The wines are matured on the natural lees during their first year, with no filtering or fining being carried out. The blending and the tirage are carried out in July. The bottles are taken down into the coolness of the cellars and stacked on lattes, the second fermentation takes place and maturation goes on for at least two more years. Perfect as an aperitif, its straightness and its mineral character will whet your appetite. It?s ready to drink now, but may also be laid down for a few years.

En el corazón de la Côte des Blancs, esta bodega familiar, liderada por Pierre Larmandier y su esposa Sophie, elabora champagnes únicos que reflejan la esencia del terruño. Con viñedos ubicados principalmente en el Premier Cru de Vertus y en prestigiosas parcelas de los Grand Cru de Cramant, Chouilly, Oger y Avize, trabajan con viñas viejas bajo prácticas biodinámicas desde el año 2000. Sus vinos fermentan con levaduras indígenas y se crían en barricas y fudres austriacos, priorizando un enfoque natural sin adición de azúcar. El resultado son champagnes de gran pureza, marcada mineralidad, madurez perfecta y una elegancia que los convierte en compañeros ideales para cualquier comida, con excelente capacidad de guarda y evolución en botella.
