Its fruit sources spanning all of the prominent villages along the Cote des Blancs in which they have holdings is what prompted Larmandier-Bernier?s NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Longitude L1009-12 to acquire its current name. Nutty, herbal suffusion of pear, lemon, and green zebra tomato makes for a succulently juicy as well as intriguing cuvee that contrasts sharply ? no doubt as intended ? with the corresponding ?Latitude? bottling. Here we haven?t the aromatic fireworks ? though a haunting evocation of flowered, grassy meadow emerges as the wine sits open ? but there is an especially fascinating mid-palate exchange with, in part, ineffable elements of broadly mineral nature, leading to a finish of remarkable salivary compulsion and sheer length. This exceptional value in Champagne should merit following for at least 3-4 years.
