Latitude Extra Brut

Larmandier-Bernier's Latitude Extra Brut is a blanc de blancs, which means pure Chardonnay. It aged for at least two years and is hand-disgorged six months before it goes on sale. As an extra brut it gets by with very little added sugar, which highlights the clarity and purity that define the estate's style. On the palate it still feels round and harmonious.

You can drink it now or keep it for another two to three years. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip flute. It works as an aperitif and goes well with oysters, shellfish, sushi or young goat's cheese. For a champagne made this way, the price sits at the entry level, a good way into grower champagne with a straightforward signature.
