Tasting Notes:
Larmandier-Bernier's NV Latitude Extra Brut unveils a brilliant golden straw hue, setting the stage for a fresh, aromatic experience. The nose is a delicate blend of citrus, poached apple, and subtle smoky spice, enhanced by hints of white floral notes. On the palate, it reveals a mouthwatering complexity, with flavours of poached apple, stonefruit, and pear, underpinned by a crisp minerality. Tropical guava and kumquat notes add an exotic layer, while almond and biscuity nuances provide depth. The finish is balanced and elegant, with a touch of light spice and a long, refreshing minerality that lingers, making each sip irresistible.
