The Larmandier and Bernier families have been involved in the Champenois vineyards since the French Revolution. As early as the 18th century, the Larmandiers also participated in the rise of Côte des blancs with the renown of their Cramant Blanc de blancs Nature.
Founded in 1971 by Philippe Larmandier and his wife Elisabeth Bernier, Maison Larmandier-Bernier is today run by their son, Pierre, who is committed to offering the purest expression of this great terroir through natural viticulture.
Since their establishment in Champagne, passion and know-how have always been passed down from generation to generation within both the Larmandier and Bernier families. From the 20th century onwards, Jules Larmandier produced Champagnes with remarkable taste qualities, and it wasn't long before many top Parisian restaurants were interested in them. Larmandier Champagnes were soon being served at Tour d'Argent, Taillevant and Charlot roi des coquillages.
The House took the name Larmandier-Bernier in 1971, following the marriage of Philippe Larmandier, Jules' grandson, to Elisabeth Bernier, a vineyard owner in Vertus. In 1988, their son Pierre decided to join the family business, in order to practise the trade that is so close to his heart.

The "Latitude" cuvée perfectly embodies the elegance and generosity of Champagnes from Domaine Larmandier-Bernier. Formerly called "Tradition", it has been renamed to better reflect its identity: a full-bodied, rich and seductive Champagne. Composed exclusively of Chardonnays from terroirs south of Vertus, it benefits from optimum grape maturity, offering a festive profile while preserving the characteristic purity of Domaine.
Not Millésimée, this cuvée incorporates 40% of wines from the perpetual Réserve started in 2004, guaranteeing beautiful aromatic complexity. After gentle pressing, the juices are lightly settled before being poured directly into barrels. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place naturally in Stockinger barrels and foudres, and ageing on the lees continues without filtration or fining for the first year. Blending and bottling take place in July, followed by ageing on laths for at least two years. Each bottle is hand-disgorged nine months before release, with a minimum dosage of 2 g/L.
Harmonious and charming, "Latitude" can be enjoyed at any time and will delight all palates. Ready to enjoy now, it can also be kept for a few years to allow it to evolve with finesse. An exceptional Champagne, the fruit of Pierre and Sophie Larmandier's expertise and passion.
