PHILIPPONNAT Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut 2018 perfectly embodies Philipponnat's mastery of blending and vinification of Pinot Noir, in a particularly sunny vintage. Composed entirely of grapes from Premiers and Grands Crus, this 100% Pinot Noir cuvée benefits from traditional vinification, with 57% of the wines produced in the woods. Dosed in extra-brut (4.25 g/l), it maintains a subtle balance between freshness and vinosity, without masking the character and purity of the champagne. Upon opening, the nose reveals floral aromas of violet and acacia, which gradually evolve towards fruity notes of strawberry and apricot. On the palate, the attack is gourmet, while the finish is distinguished by its freshness and elegance, enhanced by spicy nuances. Ideal to accompany a chicken tagine with apricots, poultry, game birds, or to enhance terrines and foie gras, this solarblanc de noirs champagne goes wonderfully with various dishes. After several years of aging in cellars (at least 4 to 6 years), the Blanc de Noirs Millésimé cuvée from Philipponnat can be kept for at least five years, or even more. It was awarded a score of 16.5/20 by Revue du Vin de France.

THE BRAND
In the heart of the Champagne region, in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the Philipponnat house is renowned for producing great wines. Each of its iconic champagnes, such as the Cuvée 1522, the Clos des Goisses, the Blanc de Noirs Millésimé and the Grand Blanc Millésié, presents a unique expression, characterized by a predominance of Pinot Noir grapes, with the exception of the Blancs de Blancs. These wines are truly designed for discerning connoisseurs, standing out on prestigious tables and elegantly accompanying the finest dishes, well beyond the aperitif. The Philipponnat house asserts a distinctive style that remains true to its principles, far from passing trends. It offers a range of champagnes that are distinguished by their tasty character, their power and their balance. The aromatic intensity, particularly that of the Pinot Noir, is a characteristic common to all the cuvées, illustrating the constant search for freshness and minerality in each of its creations. During a ceremony held at the Automobile Club de France in Paris, La Revue du Vin de France revealed the winners of its annual awards. These awards celebrate the personalities and companies that have left an indelible mark on the wine industry in France. During the ceremony, Champagne Philipponnat was awarded the prestigious 'Brand of the Year' prize. This distinction recognizes the remarkable trajectory of the Philipponnat house . Despite turbulent times, it has reinvented itself under the leadership of Charles Philipponnat since 2000. Today renowned for its superb range of champagnes, the house has brilliantly risen to the challenge of combining tradition and innovation.
