"The 2018 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs is an understated wine, as so many Champagnes are in 2018. This is an especially brisk, floral style of Blanc de Noirs, the result of a choice of villages (Avenay-Val-d’Or, Mareuil, Mailly, Vertus, Écueil), the decision to partially block the malolactic fermentation and dosage that is on the low side. Grapefruit, white flowers, mint, chalk and dried herbs are all finely cut." —Antonio Galloni

"Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir sourced mainly from the commune of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and complemented with Aveney, Mailly, Ecueil and Vertus, the 2018 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs offers up a dense, complex bouquet of pear, white peach, spices, walnuts, tangerine and red berries. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and tense, it's broad and seamless with bright acids and a crystalline texture leading to a delicate, mouthwatering, saline finish. Disgorged in June 2023 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, it has a pH of three." —Yohan Castaing

"A well-tailored Champagne, displaying a refined, satinlike mousse and deftly honed acidity. Offers a lovely range of black currant, salted Marcona almond, tangerine peel and candied ginger flavors underscored by chalky minerality that lingers on the finish."

"From Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, this Champagne has a rich character with Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims. With its aroma hinting at red fruits and its rich texture, this ripe wine could do with more aging."

More about Philipponnat

We tend to divide our Champagnes into Growers versus Houses, but there is also an important in-between category that offers a lot of incredibly high-quality Champagne. We call it the Boutique House. It’s a space that’s occupied by Billecart Salmon and Jacquesson. They are technically Houses, but their work is rigorous and artisanal, and done on a much smaller scale than the Houses with the big brand names like Veuve Clicquot. They combine the excellent grape sourcing of a top House, with the refined wine-making of a Grower.

Philipponnat is a leading example of a Boutique House. Many wine lovers are familiar with them because of their Clos des Goisses, one of the most sought-after and treasured Champagnes of all – and which, as it dates back to 1935, was Champagne’s very first single vineyard Champagne!

Like Jacquesson, and several other producers, Philipponnat has enjoyed a quality revolution in the 21st century. In 1999 a new Philipponnat took over (this is still a family domaine), Charles Philipponnat, and he radically upped the winery’s game. He made little innovations here and there – using only the first press juice from his Chardonnay, and extended the aging of his wines in neutral barrels, for example. His wines became more intense and richer, but also fresher. And now the winery's current portfolio is one of the finest in Champagne.
