Larmandier-Bernier Longitude Premier Cru Extra Brut 1.5L Magnum

Crafted in the famed Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, France, Champagne Larmandier-Bernier 'Longitude' Premier Cru Extra Brut is a legendary grower Champagne produced by Pierre and Sophie Larmandier. The name 'Longitude' pays homage to both the geographic line of longitude along which its Premier Cru Chardonnay vineyards sit—spanning Vertus, Cramant, Avize, and Oger—and the long, linear, vertical mineral drive that defines this benchmark cuvée. Practicing strict organic and biodynamic viticulture, the estate hand-harvests old Chardonnay vines planted on pure, topsoil-thin Cretaceous chalk soils. Fermentation occurs naturally using ambient yeasts in a mix of large neutral Austrian oak foudres, oak vats, and enamel-lined tanks. After long aging on fine lees, the wine matures for over two to three years in the subterranean cellars before disgorgement, finished with a ultra-low Extra Brut dosage (approx. 3-4 g/L). The result is a Blanc de Blancs of incredible chalky purity, weightless texture, and crystalline precision.

Food Pairing: Fresh oysters, caviar, pan-seared sea scallops, sashimi, king crab legs, roasted sea bass with lemon beurre blanc, truffle risotto, and aged Comté or goat cheese.
