BIODYNAMIC FARMING
WINERY NOTES: "This non-vintage cuvee known as Longitude replaces the wine previously referred to as Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 1er Cru. The name references the fact that the vineyards form a line close to the 4th meridian. Longitude is also an allusion to the length and the very pure, frank and mineral style of these great terroirs, where the chalk is very close to the surface. The base wine makes up approximately 60% of the blend and is fermented in a combination of large, old oak foudres and neutral Burgundian barrels. The remaining 40% is reserve wine from a perpetual reserve started in 2004 and kept in stainless steel tanks after the first year in oak."
JEB DUNNUCK 92 POINTS - "A bright medium yellow hue, the NV Champagne Longitude Extra Brut has more focus and a compact, linear drive from more chalky soils, with notes of lemon candy, Anjou pear, and a very pretty floral perfume. Medium-bodied, it has a refreshing and fine mousse, with pleasing lift and a clean finish. A total charmer, I would drink this all day. It's pure and crisp yet has a pleasing, approachable feel."
