| Color | A pink dress with auburn highlights. |
| Perfume | An expressive and open first nose, in which mouth-watering notes of warm bread and honey intertwine. |
| Taste | A beautiful richness that expresses itself through accents of honey, caramelised mirabelles and light vanilla. The finish is acidulous, typical of the vintage. |
| Pairings | The particularly dry character of this 'Extra-Brut' dosed cuvée makes for a beautiful combination with seafood, boiled or grilled fish. Combining it with birds such as capon makes for an interesting dry-fatty contrast, and an even bolder one is achieved with caviar or very spicy dishes such as an Indian tandoori. However, sweet-sour and sugary falvours should be avoided. |

Description
Extra Brut Classic Method Champagne, produced by Philipponnat, a historic Champagne house since 1522. Blend: 72% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay. 0.75 L bottle, 2018 vintage. An excellence that celebrates the history of Champagne, with timeless elegance and a unique expression of terroir. Some of the wines are vinified in wood and do not undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving all the freshness of the wine and allowing it to acquire greater complexity. Both full-bodied and acidic, this cuvée lends itself perfectly to a low, extra-brut dosage of just 4.25 g/L, one-third of the classic brut dosage of Champagne. Eight years on the lees allow it to retain its original freshness. A pink color with coppery highlights. Perlage with fine, lively bubbles. An expressive and open initial nose, intertwining delicious notes of warm bread and honey. A lovely richness expressed through notes of honey, caramelized mirabelle plums, and light vanilla. The finish is tart, typical of this vintage.

In 1696, Apvril’s descendants, who were often ‘Royal Mayors’ of Ay, registered the family coat of arms in the Armorial de France. Today, this same coat of arms adorns all the House’s bottles. ?The labels of Philipponnat, vineyard owners and wine merchants, were among the first to bear the signature of sparkling Champagnes as early as the mid-19th century.
