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. Disgorged January 2024. Drink now through 2035.

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 a ripe wine that could do with more aging. Drink this vintage from 2026.

The 2018 Champagne Blanc De Noirs Extra Brut is where we start to see the house of Philipponnat shine with their command of Pinot Noir in Champagne. It was raised in roughly equal parts stainless steel and oak barrels, and is sourced from the Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, as well as the Premier Crus of Avernay, Mailly, Écueil, and Vertus. Pouring a copper/straw color, the nose is expressive, with black and red fruits leaping from the glass, along with notes of wet stone, spice, and almond pastry. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with elegant concentration and ripeness, some tropical fruit on the finish, and its spritely mousse accenting the wine’s underlying spice notes. This is a well-structured wine offering a lot of value to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years.
