Philipponnat, Grand Blanc Vintage Vintage:2018 yet the Brunate remains one

yet the Brunate remains one of the more understated wines here

This Zen-like effort should one day be a truly stunning wine

Because of very low yields and a warm and dry season

almost airy wood spice combines with elegant and quite refined green fruit and an interesting roasted nut quality

Philipponnat, Grand Blanc Vintage Vintage:2018 yet the Brunate remains oneThe 2008 Extra Brut Grand Blanc offers lovely depth and textural resonance. Bright and nicely focused, the 2008 shows all of the energy of the year, with a touch of mid palate richness that makes it easy to drink now. Pastry, butter, vanillin and orchard fruit add nuance to a forward, racy Champagne endowed with real substance. The Grand Blanc is a blend of fruit from Grauves, Trepaille, Avenay Val dOr, Vertus and Mareuil sur A. Dosage is 4. 25 grams
