Philipponnat Grand Blanc Extra Brut 2009
Only 1er Cru and Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes from the Côte des Blancs villages of Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger & Vertus with around 15% from Philipponnat’s Clos des Goisses vineyard in Mareuil and another 15% from 1er Cru grapes from the Montagne de Reims. Dosage is just 5 grams per litre, this actually puts it in the Extra Brut level of between 0-6 grams, but is labeled as Brut.

Perlage

Very fine creamy mousse.

Colour

Gold color with green reflexes.

Bouquet

A wonderfully expressive nose of ozone, pine nuts, fresh baking and soft citrus notes.

Flavour

The palate is clean and fresh, belying its years, with honey, lemon-peel, minerality and developed yeasty characters.

Pairing

Starters
Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
