PHILIPPONNAT Blanc de Noirs Extra-Brut Vintage, Champagne

PENFOLDS X Thienot Lot 1 175 Rose Champagne is a prestigious collaboration between the renowned Australian winery Penfolds and the esteemed Champagne house Thiénot. This exquisite rosé champagne represents the fourth release in their joint venture series, showcasing the expertise of both producers. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this non-vintage brut rosé offers a harmonious blend of Champagne's traditional methods and Penfolds' innovative approach. The champagne boasts a delicate pink hue and likely presents a complex bouquet of red fruits, floral notes, and subtle yeasty aromas. On the palate, it delivers a perfect balance of freshness and depth, with fine bubbles and a crisp acidity that complements its rich fruit flavours. As a limited edition release, this champagne appeals to both collectors and enthusiasts seeking a unique expression of Franco-Australian winemaking prowess.

A whiff of peat smoke lends mature expression to this mainly Pinot Noir bottling. Notes of toast and stone fruit conjure up impressions of woodland spice, framed by a more profound sense of vinosity. The palate shows wonderful depth: citrus on entry, with plenty of firmness on the mid palate and the wine’s vibrant fruit character showing through. The very low dosage contributes to the sense of invigorating harmony.

'Rose were for long regarded as the illegitimate offspring of Champagne, recipients of coarse, heavy pressings wines partially masked by high dosage levels. Today they are routinely priced above 'normal' NV (or vintage) blends and are carefully made. Whether they really merit the premium is irrelevant: the market has spoken. But Laurent-Perrier is a special case: this is 100% pinot noir, rather than a blend coloured by pinot noir red wine. The full salmon colour is an immediate indication of its provenance, the bouquet complex and alluring, leading directly into the cherry and strawberry flavours of the long, sustained palate; excellent finish and aftertaste.' - 95 points, James Halliday Top 100

A Champagne drinkers' Champagne. Freshness and vivacity with a delicate bead and complex fruit flavours. A perfectly integrated acidity suggests that it will age very well. Great as an aperitif, but with enough body to handle almost all food pairings.

A lively wine with a raisin bread-like note mixed in with the ripe red fruits. Still fresh and vibrant with a clean floral finish. Drink now.
