Decanter, 94 Points
"Chalky minerality, lemon peel and spring blossom on the palate and the smell of freshly-baked bread. Tiny bubbles. I'd expect most students to get this as a Blanc de Blancs from Champagne. Bonus points for anyone who spots the Extra Brut dosage."
James Suckling, 93 Points
"This Blanc de Blancs champagne is anything but flashy and it might take a moment switch onto its wavelength. However, it has excellent depth and finely etched contours on the medium-bodied palate, the Amalfi-lemon character building as it aerates in the glass. Beautiful balance at the very long, rather rich but very dry finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"A tangy overtone of pink grapefruit peel rides the fine mousse in this creamy Champagne. It's layered with a subtle mesh of apricot, lemon thyme and minerally brine and chalk notes. Well-cut and harmonious. Drink now through 2025."
Wine Advocate, 90 Points
"Based on the 2019 vintage and disgorged this spring with three grams per liter dosage, the latest rendition of the NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Latitude offers up inviting aromas of sweet orchard fruit, fresh bread, citrus oil, white flowers and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's broad and pillowy, with a ripe, demonstrative profile and a saline finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"This is a generous terroir resulting in a round, rich, charming style, which still retains the characteristic pureness of the estate’s Champagnes. Pierre believes the wine posseses "pinot-like" characteristics such as red fruit flavors and bredth on the palate -- despite it being 100% Chardonnay -- which he attributes to this unique terroir."
Alcohol: 12%
