Champagne Philipponnat Grand Blanc 2018 (750ml)

Pale straw with golden reflections and a fine, persistent mousse, Grand Blanc 2018 (100% Chardonnay) opens with a graceful bouquet of white flowers, lemon curd, chalk dust, and toasted almond. Sourced exclusively from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, the base wines are vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with no malolactic fermentation to retain tension. Aged for 5 years on lees and finished with a low dosage (4.25 g/L), the palate is taut, elegant, and mineral—citrus zest, green apple, and subtle creaminess unfold over a chalky core. The finish is long, saline, and precise. A luminous, terroir-driven Blanc de Blancs—linear, refined, and beautifully age-worthy.
