This is the nonvintage Champagne from this producer. With its richness and high percentage of Pinot Noir, it reflects the house style. Touches of spice and a light structure give shape to the white fruits. Drink now.
There's a plush creaminess to this finely meshed Champagne, which integrates a chalky overtone and lemon acidity with a detailed range of poached pear, dried white cherry, chopped hazelnut and dogwood blossoms. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged May 2022. Drink now.
Always open in the exposition of the origins of its wines, Philipponnat has upped the stakes of late by not only adding foudres to its vinification armoury but also increasing volumes from two separate Réserves Perpétuelles. The result is impressive; Pinot power writ large in red fruit and biscuity complexity, with resonance on the back palate, the ensemble still harnessed by disarmingly energetic freshness.
