Champagne Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut 2016
Champagne, FranceThe Philipponnat family have been wine growers and merchants since the 16th century, and own 17 hectares of vineyards, all worked sustainably, with horses and no chemical inputs. Champagne Philipponnat began in 1910 when Auguste and Pierre Philipponnat established their Champagne house in its current location of Mareuil sur Aÿ. This BdN is entirely pinot noir from 1er and GCs, and was disgorged in April 2022 with 4.5 g/L. Pouring a golden lemon hue, this is chiselled with marzipan, cherry, meringue, and deep chalk layering the palate, with a long, humming line of taut lemon pith acidity drawing this to a lingering saline finish. Lovely structure and presence, drinking smartly now.Tasted: 02 June 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $145.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
