Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut 2019 Champagne

A Blanc de Noirs from the great terroirs of Champagne

The Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut 2019 is made from the first pressing of grapes sourced from the Montagne de Reims, as well as the vineyards of Mareuil-sur-Ay and Avenay.

The blend is composed of 100% Pinot Noir. A significant proportion of the wines, vinified in oak and in tanks, do not undergo malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the vintage’s freshness, tension and character.

Its Extra-Brut dosage of 4.25 g/l respects the purity of the fruit whilst maintaining a precise balance between the vinous structure of the Pinot Noir and the cuvée’s characteristic freshness.

Extended ageing on lees

The 2019 Blanc de Noirs is aged on lees for between five and seven years. This extended ageing contributes to the development of its aromatic complexity and encourages the emergence of secondary and tertiary notes.

The result is a deep and expressive champagne, with a full-bodied texture and a fresh, elegant and lingering finish.
