🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH Larmandier-Bernier's 'Longitude' Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Extra Brut is an 【elegant, mineral-driven grower Champagne that masterfully embodies the terroir philosophy of the Côte des Blancs】. It's considered a classic among grower Champagnes and a benchmark for non-vintage Blanc de Blancs, with the name "Longitude" referring to the vineyards forming a line close to the 4th meridian. The winery practices biodynamic viticulture and uses a perpetual reserve system (solera) started in 2004, with 40% reserve wines in the blend. This Champagne has a pale, luminous yellow color with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose offers delicate pastry, marzipan, lemon, grapefruit, crisp pear, and apple, underpinned by white stone and oyster shells, with hints of lime blossom and wet stone. On the palate, it is crystalline and transparent, with powerful acidity, a silky texture, bright citrus fruit, and a long, chalky, saline-driven finish. It's described as fresh, lively, and clear, with impressive minerality and tension. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing various types of suggestion east or west corresponding to wine cost IN ENGLISH Ideal as an aperitif, its straightness and mineral character whet the appetite.
