The 2016 Extra-Brut Blanc de Noirs (100% Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Ay and Ay) is a gorgeous Champagne that shows just how compelling this vintage is. Bright and finely cut, the Blanc de Noirs has so much to offer. Lifted aromatics and nuanced fruit meld together in an impeccably balanced Champagne that bristles with energy. For this cuve, Philipponnat blends fruit from sites with both south and north-facing exposures for maximum complexity. 93 points Vinous
