LARMANDIER BERNIER Latitude Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne NV Latitude is 100% Côte des Blancs Chardonnay from vineyards on the southern side of Vertus. These vineyards comprise rich clay in the soil and are on the same latitude, hence the name, which also hints at the breadth of texture that the wines from these sites express. A generous terroir and grapes picked fully ripe, Larmandier uses mostly large format casks using wood from Stockinger in Austria. The result is a superb texture, stone-fruited depth and pure minerality with that glorious citrusy, chalky energy the area is known for. The Latitude cuvée is the perfect festive Champagne, retaining the characteristic purity of the estate.

Centuries-old tradition from Champagne meets modern Yarra Valley winemaking. Made in methode traditionelle. A creamy palate integrated with acid to balance this unctuous yet elegant wine. Strawberry, stone fruit, citrus and pastry-like characters provide further structure. Balance is maintained to the back of the palate, finishing with excellent length.

The Côte des Blancs finest grand crus: the finesse of Chouilly, the power of Avize and Cramant, the structure and longevity of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger; every parcel vinified separately to retain character; 5.5g/L dosage
