Utilizing superb sites, super-low yields, decades of biodynamic farming, wild yeast fermentation in old foudres and scant dosage, Pierre Larmandier defines modern grower Champagne; centering on the expression of the vineyard, commune and vintage. Longitude is a 30% reserve wine cuvée of Chardonnay from his Vertus, Cramant, Avize and Oger plots, all of which form a line along the 4th meridian.
