Champagne, France — 100% Pinot Noir
Style:
A powerful yet finely sculpted Blanc de Noirs from one of Champagne’s most historic houses. Crafted solely from Pinot Noir, this cuvée offers depth, structure, and precision, with Philipponnat’s signature elegance.
Appearance:
Bright golden hue with delicate, persistent bubbles.
Nose:
Expressive and complex. Aromas of ripe red apple, pear, and mirabelle plum mingle with notes of hazelnut, brioche, and light spice. Subtle hints of white flowers, chalk, and smoky minerality underline its Pinot Noir character.
Palate:
Firm, dry, and beautifully structured. Flavours of redcurrant, apple skin, citrus zest, and baked pear unfold over a backbone of vibrant acidity and fine minerality. The Extra Brut dosage (very low sugar) gives definition and purity while allowing the fruit and terroir to shine.
Finish:
Long, refined, and precise, with lingering notes of citrus, toasted nuts, chalk, and subtle spice.
