Philipponnat, Grand Blanc Vintage Size:6x750ml a wine I would drinkThe 2008 Extra Brut Grand Blanc offers lovely depth and textural resonance. Bright and nicely focused, the 2008 shows all of the energy of the year, with a touch of mid palate richness that makes it easy to drink now. Pastry, butter, vanillin and orchard fruit add nuance to a forward, racy Champagne endowed with real substance. The Grand Blanc is a blend of fruit from Grauves, Trepaille, Avenay Val dOr, Vertus and Mareuil sur A. Dosage is 4. 25 grams
