Produced entirely from Pinot Noir from Premier and Grand Cru villages, the 2018 Champagne Blanc De Noirs Extra Brut displays a light straw/copper tinge and has so much personality, with loads of kirsch, red plum, fresh roses, and graham crackers. Full-bodied, with a spine of fresh acidity and orange citrus as well as a savory flourish, you get the ripeness of the house without it feeling overdone. This is one of the calling cards for Philipponnat that feels so well-integrated. It exhibits the powerful nature of Pinot Noir but has fantastic structure, and although it’s drinking great now, it will be incredible to hold onto over the coming 20 years. Drink 2023-2043. 4.5 grams per liter dosage. 40,790 bottles produced.
Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir sourced mainly from the commune of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and complemented with Aveney, Mailly, Ecueil and Vertus, the 2018 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs offers up a dense, complex bouquet of pear, white peach, spices, walnuts, tangerine and red berries. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tense, it's broad and seamless with bright acids and a crystalline texture leading to a delicate, mouthwatering, saline finish. Disgorged in June 2023 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, it has a pH of three.
