Rich notes of crème de cassis and marzipan wrap the fine backbone of acidity in this well-balanced and expressive Champagne.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Impressive richness and power with sous-bois and woody aromas, as well as light honey, dried berries and yellow plums. The palate has a smooth, even and suave feel with handy freshness in the mid-palate. Stony grip to close. Drink or hold.

The 2012 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs was disgorged in September 2018 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage. Offering up notes of fresh peach, honeycomb, mint and warm bread, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and textural, with lively acids, excellent concentration and a chalky finish. It's showing very well.

The 2012 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs is a gorgeous mid-tier Champagne that shows just how compelling this vintage is. Bright and finely cut, the Blanc de Noirs has so much to offer. Lifted aromatics and nuanced fruit meld together in an impeccably balanced Champagne that bristles with energy. For this cuvée, Philipponnat blends fruit from sites with both south and north-facing exposures for maximum complexity. Dosage is 4.25 grams per liter. Disgorged: May, 2018.

Grand and premier cru vineyards focussed on Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay have captured the essence of Montagne de Reims Pinot Noir in what was fundamentally a Pinot Noir year. But if one anticipates robust power and savoury profundity, one may be a little surprised. It's a discrete wine but the most striking message conveys an almost balletic elegance, a diaphanous filigree of restraint and manicured potential. Red fruit characteristics are woven beautifully into a finely textured ensemble, which majors above all on finesse. Drinking Window 2019 - 2023.
