Disgorged in March 2020 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2010 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Cintres bursts with aromas of shortbread, citrus zest, blanched almonds and pear. Full-bodied, layered and enveloping, it's round and vinous, with broad shoulders and a rich core of fruit, concluding with chalky grip. Charles Philipponnat compares the 2010 with the "round" 1999 vintage, a persuasive analogy, and it will drink at its peak before both its 2009 and 2008 predecessors.<br/><br/>

Amongst the few Champagne houses to still be run by a member of its founding family, Philipponnat’s history dates back over 500 years ago. Generations of both, men and women Philipponnats, have left their mark on France’s famous region. With 17-hectares of vines in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay, the plots each fall under the Premier or Grand Cru classifications. Today, under the leadership of Chairman Charles Philipponnat, the estate has seen a recent resurgence, and has gained an incredible surge in recognition for its entire portfolio. Striving to reveal the wines’ true Pinot-infused glory, Charles has worked relentlessly to instill the family’s founding values of individuality, excellence, generosity and humility in every bottle produced. He has created a successful range of intense, fresh Champagnes that are imitable for their quality and character. As the first Champagne House to include the main year used in its non-vintage blends, the dosage and the dates of disgorgement on their back labels – Philipponnat is unquestionably unique.
