Larmandier-Bernier Latitude 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut - 2022 Base NV

Lemon zest, almond skin and wet chalk jump from the glass with real energy. There's more flesh on the palate than you might expect from an extra brut, concentrated and layered, with a stony, premier cru thread pulling through to a long, focused finish. Built on a 2022 base with 40% reserve wines, the depth here outpaces its young disgorgement age considerably.
