Apr 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eChampagne Larmandier-Bernier Latitude Blanc de Blancs is an extra brut Côte des Blancs Chardonnay from the southern side of Vertus, here in magnum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Latitude vineyards lie on the southern edge of Vertus at roughly the same latitude, which gives the wine its name and hints at the breadth of texture the clay-richer soils there tend to produce. Pierre Larmandier works largely with large-format casks, almost all now from Stockinger in Austria, and relies less and less on steel; alcoholic and malolactic fermentations run naturally, and there is no fining or filtration. Bottles are matured for more than two years, disgorged by hand and dosed at extra brut level — four grams per litre here — at least six months before release. This bottling is based on the 2018 harvest with 40 per cent reserve wine from a solera going back to 2004, and was disgorged in April 2020. The result is pure and mineral, with real texture and stone-fruit depth behind the chalky, citrus-driven precision the area gives as a matter of course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady now and will keep for a decade. Serve at 8–10°C in a wine glass, or even decanted, with shellfish, terrine, white meats or most cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
