"Champagne pleasure for this superbly balanced cuvée, between freshness and fruitiness".
"The scent is so fresh! Peach, grapefruit and citrus from the hand of Buddha. Intensely, fragrantly citric. Pure, singing like a soprano. Tiny bubbles dance the white pepper ardor to the slightly smoky finish. It really does seem to float" (Jancis Robinson). Bottle without cap

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2026) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Pierre and Sophie Larmandier, accompanied by their son Arthur, have been cultivating 16 hectares biodynamically for over twenty years. Few wineries in any region can boast such consistency at this high level. The range is remarkably well maintained and reasonably priced. Among the estate's legendary cuvées, vieille vigne du levant is unquestionably a benchmark for the Côte des Blancs. The style boasts creamy textures in which balance is a central value. In this discreet elegance, we often find the finest the Côte des Blancs has to offer. A sought-after address.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated 91/100 (Wonderful wine)
About the wine:
The latest version of Larmandier-Bernier's Blanc de Blancs Latitude Extra-Brut NV comes from the 2021 vintage (60%), entirely vinified in oak barrels and completed by a perpetual blend dating back to 2004. Parcels located on richer soils, mainly facing east and southeast, produce rounder, fuller-bodied wines, and this also applies to the 2021 vintage. With aromas of pear, acacia and pastry, it is fuller than Longitude, with ripe but lively acidity and a soft mousse.

Domaine rated (guide 2026) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Although his family hails from Cramant, Pierre Larmandier has settled in Vertus, where he vinifies parcels spread across the Côte des Blancs grands crus, in Cramant (sumptuous Cuvée Vieille Vigne du Levant), Chouilly, Oger and Avize. The result is a magnificent Les Chemins d'Avize since 2009. Stainless steel and barrels have given way to oak foudres, where vinification takes place without yeast. The range highlights the sustained work carried out in the vineyards (certified biodynamic).

About the wine:
Such a fresh scent! Peaches, grapefruit and lemon. Intensely fragrant, with citrus notes. Pure, singing like a soprano. Tiny bubbles dance vivaciously over notes of white pepper in a slightly smoky finish. It really seems to float.
