Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut 2018

This sparkling wine is characterised by an intense golden colour with delicate pink highlights, distinctive of the Pinot Noir grape. On the nose, it opens with subtle floral aromas of violet and acacia blossom, which progressively evolve towards a more expressive and vibrant profile, highlighting fruity notes of apricot, strawberry and cherry. On the palate, it surprises with a generous and robust entry, marked by deep flavours of forest fruits. Its finish is fresh and sophisticated, leaving a trail of exotic spices, with delicate nuances of anise and liquorice that prolong the taste experience.

Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut 2018 is an exceptional champagne produced in the renowned AOC Champagne region of France. Produced by the historic Philipponnat house, this sparkling wine reflects a winemaking tradition that dates back to the XNUMXth century, when the family supplied wines to the court of Louis XIV, establishing itself as one of the most prestigious references in the region.

This sparkling wine uses exclusively first-press must, obtained from Premier and Grand Cru plots. Made with 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes come from the most outstanding vineyards of the Montagne de Reims, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Avenay, areas renowned for their unique quality and expressiveness.

Vinification follows a traditional approach that minimises premature oxidation. A partial malolactic fermentation is applied to wines aged in vats, while 57% of the wines are vinified in wooden barrels without malolactic fermentation, preserving their natural freshness. The extra-brut dosage, at just 4,25 g/litre, balances freshness and vinosity, allowing the wine’s authentic and pure character to shine through. Ageing, which extends between four and six years, allows for the development of remarkable complexity. This prolonged time on lees enriches the wine with secondary and tertiary aromas that reflect the mastery behind its production.

If you are looking to buy wine that combines elegance, history and an unparalleled sensory experience, the Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut 2018 is the perfect choice for special moments and memorable celebrations.
