Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Philipponnat 2018

The Blanc de Noirs signed by Philipponnat is a Brut Champagne that offers varied aromas on the nose, great drinkability in the mouth, and a slightly toasted aftertaste. A combination of qualities that truly makes this vintage memorable, which, thanks to aging for almost six years, presents itself with great character and a natural expressiveness. A French bubbly with which the maison Philipponnat achieves excellent scores, confirming its prestige.

The Brut Blanc de Noirs is a 100% Pinot Noir that the maison Philipponnat cultivates exclusively within its own Premiers and Grand Crus, scattered near the Montagne de Reims and Mareuil-sur-Ay. The grapes, carefully harvested and selected from the various vineyards during the harvest phase, undergo a first fermentation in steel, and then referment, as required by the principles of the Champenoise Method, in the bottle. Here the Champagne remains to mature, in contact with its own yeasts, for a period of 70 months, after which the disgorging and dosage operations are carried out.

This Blanc de Noirs is a Brut Champagne that, in the glass, reveals itself with a typically golden color; the grain of the perlage is fine and subtle, with excellent persistence. The bouquet of aromas that alternate on the nose tells of broad and layered notes, where fruity and floral notes alternate, paying homage to the Pinot Noir. On the palate it is rich, deep, balanced, with a sip characterized by a pleasant freshness and a long and toasted finish. A bubbly with which the maison Philipponnat demonstrates its mastery in choosing the best parcels from which this vintage comes to life, to be reserved for the most formal occasions, where even what is drunk holds its importance.
