Like the Latitude, this is 100% Côte des Blancs Chardonnay (the vineyards are in Cramant, Avize, Oger, and Vertus), yet the vineyards from which it was drawn have thinner topsoils and so the vine roots plunge straight into the chalky bedrock. The name here refers to the vertical nature of the geographic locations of the vineyards as well as the style of wine resulting from the very chalky soils of these sites i.e., a more linear, mineral wine. While Larmandiers Latitude is expansive across the palate, the Longitude is all about minerality, line and raciness. William Kelly has called this wine one of the finest non-vintage bottlings to be found in Champagne and, while the are no reviews available for the 2019 base, the high ratio of reserve wines (40%) and the strength of this low-yielding vintage should leave you will little doubt as the quality on offer.

Product Description: Premier Cru intensity from a Grand Cru neighbour. The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Vide Bourse” from Domaine Joseph Colin is drawn from a rare 0.13-hectare parcel that sits just below the legendary Bâtard-Montrachet. With only five producers holding land here, this is one of Burgundy’s most exclusive micro-sites—producing wines of impressive depth and architectural precision. This vintage shows the vineyard’s full potential: aromas of spiced peach, citrus blossom, mandarin and subtle honey are wrapped in a satiny, structured frame. Fermentation takes place in 350-litre oak barrels, with no bâtonnage or filtration, and only minimal sulphur at bottling. On the palate, it is broad, layered and grounded by mineral tension and a faint saline finish—a wine of volume without excess. Drink from 2028 to 2035. An ideal match for rich shellfish, crayfish, or classic white Burgundy fare like poulet à la crème. Tasting Notes NOSE – Broad and aromatic Spiced peach, citrus blossom, pear and soft honeyed tones. PALATE – Rich and composed Ripe orchard fruit, subtle lime, creamy depth and mineral backbone. FINISH – Saline and long Structured, layered finish with fine chalk and citrus lift. Reviews & Accolades “Classical tension... quite complete. Drink from 2028–2033.” – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy, 92–95 Points “Satiny and structured... with good depth at the core and an orange-inflected finish.” – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93 Points

Product Description: A sun-drenched vintage brings added generosity to this premier cru classic. Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey’s 2022 Saint Aubin 1er Cru ‘La Chateniere’ offers a captivating balance between the domaine’s trademark mineral drive and the natural opulence of a warmer growing season. Harvested from a steep, south-facing 0.86-hectare site planted in 1970 and 1995, this is consistently the weightiest and most textural of Colin-Morey’s Saint-Aubin releases. In 2022, the site’s solar exposure and the vintage’s ripeness combine to give a wine of generous depth and sleek energy. There’s a touch of reductive tension up front—classic PYCM—before it unfurls into lemon-lime brightness, fleshy stone fruit, and a long, chalk-lined finish. As always, production is extremely limited. Drink 2027–2032. Chardonnay. A structured white Burgundy built to evolve. Serve with roast spatchcock, aged goat cheese, or seared scallops. Tasting Notes NOSE – Subtle reduction, citrus lift Hints of struck match, lemon zest, and flinty brightness. PALATE – Layered and generous Supple and textural with ripe lime, white peach, and saline detail. FINISH – Long and composed Balanced, mineral finish with persistent citrus length. Reviews & Accolades A lovely lively colour, lemon and lime, with something of a quality reduction on the nose... extremely classy, very PYCM in style with an extra generosity from this sunny site in a sunny vintage. – Jasper Morris M.W., Inside Burgundy, (90–93) (October 2023)

The Kevin John Chardonnay is Cullens flagship white from their biodynamic vineyards. A refined and elegant style brimming with white peach and citrus, showing bakery nutty complexity and deft oak integration. The wine is named in honour of Vanya Cullens father, the late Kevin John Cullen. Grapes are harvested on a flower or fruit day and whole-bunch pressed to obtain the highest quality juice. It is then barrel fermented with native yeasts in French oak barriques and matured for approximately 7 months in one- third new and two-thirds seasoned oak barrels.

As Australian Chardonnay continues its re-emergence, Vasse Felix Heytesbury is firmly leading the charge with its complex, modern style that has seen the winemaking team take home a cabinet full of trophies and gold medals in recent years. 100% wild yeast fermented and matured in French oak for only nine months, there is a power and persistence that is unmistakable. A flavour cavalcade of matchstick, citrus, white peach and grapefruit alongside a subtle toasty, nutty aspect from the sublime oak regime. The finish of this remarkable example will leave you in no doubt to this wines pedigree and ageability. Sheer classic.

Les Caillerets derives its name from the large number of pebbles ("cailloux") to be found in the local soil, this is white Burgundy at or near- its pinnacle.
