Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100
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.

About the wine:
A real cuddly toy on the nose, with aromas of ripe yellow and white fruit, lime blossom and fresh blood orange, sprinkled with sweet spices (cumin, coriander, turmeric, curry). This sweetness is reflected in a sparkling body, energized by a perfectly controlled acid framework and a few pretty bitters. Elegant bubbles bring just the right effervescence and titillate the tongue, while spices and tropical fruits try to call you back.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rated ( 2024 guide) 92/100 (Great wine)
About the wine:
Far more intense and taut than Latitude, Larmandier's excellent Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Longitude is made from a base of 60% 2021 vintages, combined with a perpetual reserve. Disgorged in April 2024 with a dosage of two grams per liter, it is medium-bodied, taut and incisive. From the villages of Vertus, Oger, Avize, Cramant and Chouilly, it offers aromas of white flowers, citrus and oyster shell. Its lively acidity, influenced by a long, cool growing season and mineral notes, leads to a chalky, long finish. Expect a tighter, less full-bodied Champagne than last year's edition.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
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 wine:
Longitude is the archetypal blanc de blancs aperitif: a wine for pleasure, refreshing, sincere and full of energy.
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).

Wine rated (2024 guide) 17/20
About the wine:
More peachy, less citrusy than Latitude. It's also deeper, with a narrower focus. Silky with walnut-skin bitterness. Beautiful, vibrant finish. Long and authentic.

A great champagne, very fine, with buttery, brioche and almond aromas of a champagne that is already very ripe, wonderful, a great pleasure to enjoy with friends.

I don't understand the comments, pleasant champagne but can't quite find the description, rather rough champagne without real finesse. Much better at this price! In absolute terms it's worth a 3.5/4 but for the price and the disappointment I'd put it at 2.
