Philipponnat Royal Grand Blanc
Grand Blanc, blended exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, is a remarkable exception in Philipponnat’s range of wines, the House’s hallmark being the Pinot Noir grape. This is a unique opportunity to discover another facet of the House’s style in the shape of a fine, moderately dosed blanc de blancs.
A particularly mild winter followed by a warm spring led to a year marked by early development. Nature was extremely generous, offering us a very fine harvest from 29 August to 17 September. This 2007 vintage has excellent aging potential.

The Blend
100% Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Clos des Goisses. First press juice from exclusively Premier and Grand Cru plots.
Vinification
Vinified using traditional methods to avoid premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation for the wines in vats and vinification without malolactic fermentation for the wines in wooden barrels. An elegant wine that preserves a balance between freshness, floral aromas and vinosity. «Extra-brut » dosage (4.25 g/litre) to preserve its original purity and distinction.
Aging
Aged for at least five to seven years to develop maximum complexity and to highlight the secondary and tertiary aromas which are the hallmark of extended aging on lees.
