Description

Cuvée Blanc de Noirs 2015 from Philipponnat is a fruity, fresh champagne. It's a cuvée that will find a fine place as an aperitif, but also at the table, accompanying fine poultry or even foie gras.

This cuvée is offered here with a decanter that allows you to enjoy its full range of aromas. A few minutes in the decanter allows Blanc de Noirs 2012 Philipponnat to reveal its full potential.

This champagne is made exclusively from the first pressings of Pinots Noirs Premiers and Grands Crus, located on the Montagne de Reims and the Marne Valley with Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay-Val-d'Or.

2015 was a year of great contrasts, with a relatively cool spring and an extremely dry summer with exceptional sunshine. The harvest took place in totally dry conditions with moderate, even low yields, ensuring optimal concentration.

This cuvée was vinified mainly in stainless steel tanks (80%), but part of the wine (20%) was vinified and aged in oak barrels to add fatness and patina. The wine is dosed Extra-Brut at 4.25 g/L to combine freshness and vinosity, without masking the wine's character and purity.

This Blanc de Noirs 2015 has a brilliant rose-gold color, with a beautiful, persistent and generous effervescence.

The nose is greedy and fruity with pastry notes of fresh pear and almond, then opens with a spicy touch of cinnamon.

The palate is creamy and round, with fine notes of praline, caramel and apricot jam. The fresh finish reveals scents already present on the nose, with cinnamon and clove.

This Cuvée Blanc de Noirs 2015 from Maison Philipponnat is a perfect match for a chicken tagine with apricots and almonds, or a slice of foie gras.
