Description
Chalky precision meets textural depth in a compelling large-format release. This Jeroboam of Larmandier-Bernier’s Latitude cuvee showcases old-vine Chardonnay from the southern side of Vertus, where heavier clay soils add a rich, almost vinous character to the fruit. Based on the 2018 harvest and bolstered by 40 percent of a continuous reserve started in 2004, this bottling was disgorged in October 2022 after over two years on lees. As always, the wine was fermented naturally in large Austrian oak casks, unfined, unfiltered and finished with a low four-gram dosage. It delivers vibrant citrus and floral tones over a deep mineral core, with broad appeal at the table and uncommon clarity in this scale.
