Produced entirely from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards owned by Philipponnat, the Blanc de Noir Extra Brut 2016 was disgorged January 2023 and finished with a 4.5 grams per liter dosage. This 2016 unwinds with beautiful, complex aromas revealing bready, autolytic notes intermingled with poached red cherry, blood orange, butter pastry and an alluring smokiness. Finely textured and fresh throughout, the medium to full-bodied palate is a joyful marriage of deep fruit vibrancy and incisive acid energy that has a lovely, supple creaminess on the lengthy finish. This 2016 was disgorged January 2023 and finished with a 4.5 grams per liter dosage.

As is proper for Blanc de Noirs, the Champagne has a textured edge that comes from the fruit tannins. It also has some really fine white fruits, and the crispest acidity—both promising a long-term future. Drink from 2026.
