According to history, this cuvée was named "Tradition," a choice made by Pierre's parents in the 1970s. However, the name "Latitude" was adopted to better reflect the character of this blanc de blancs champagne , which is distinguished by its roundness and rich, charming style. This cuvée is composed exclusively of 100% Chardonnays from a specific region, located south of Vertus, still on the same latitude. This generous terroir, combined with grapes picked at peak maturity, gives the Latitude cuvée a festive character while retaining the purity typical of the estate's champagnes. The cuvée includes 40% of wines from the estate's perpetual reserve, begun in 2004. The grapes are delicately pressed, the juices lightly settled, and then immediately put into barrels. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, triggered naturally by indigenous yeasts, takes place in Stockinger barrels and tuns. The champagnes are aged on natural lees for the first year, without filtration or fining. In July, the blending and tirage take place. The bottles are then stored in the cool of the cellars, where the second fermentation and aging on slats continue for at least two more years. Each bottle is manually disgorged six months before being released. The dosage is only 3 g/l, classifying this champagne as extra-brut. This is a charming champagne in all circumstances, and its rounded harmony will delight all palates. It is ready to be enjoyed immediately, although this cuvée can also be kept for two or three years. LATITUDE Extra-brut Blanc de Blancs champagne is best served as an aperitif or to start a meal at a temperature of 8°C.

THE BRAND
The winemaking history of the Larmandier and Bernier families dates back to 1765. The memories brought back by Louis Prosper Larmandier, Pierre's great-great-grandfather, tell of a time when vineyard work was shaped by nature itself, without the aid of modern techniques. Jules Larmandier, Pierre's great-grandfather, bears witness to the challenges encountered, particularly in the face of cochylis, which threatened the region's vineyards. It was Philippe Larmandier, Jules's son, who breathed new life into the family business by becoming a supplier to the finest Parisian restaurants alongside his wife, Elisabeth Bernier. Together, they created Champagne Larmandier-Bernier and built their cellar in Vertus. Their son, Pierre, heir to this ancestral passion, decided to reconnect with his roots by taking up the torch. With his wife Sophie, he undertook a radical transformation by adopting environmentally friendly practices such as biodynamics and the use of indigenous yeasts. Under Pierre's leadership, the vines regained their former glory, producing increasingly expressive and concentrated champagnes. This evolution also led to a rethinking of aging methods, abandoning stainless steel vats in favor of barrels and tuns to allow the champagnes to fully flourish. Pierre's efforts were rewarded by growing recognition in the wine world, with distinctions such as the title of "best wine hope 2002" awarded by the Revue des Vins de France. The Larmandier-Bernier estate , driven by this constant ambition for excellence, continued its expansion. A new winery was built, providing more space for aging in wood and in the cellar. True to its roots, the estate prioritizes quality over quantity, refusing to buy grapes and preferring to invest in acquiring vineyards in the finest vintages. Thus, Larmandier-Bernier continues to write its story, driven by a passion passed down from generation to generation.
