Light gold in color with a delicate, abundant mousse. Fresh and expressive nose combining notes of ripe fruit, mirabelle plum, and apricots. Aeration brings forth notes of honey and wild flowers. Fresh and creamy with delicate notes of citrus fruits. The finish is long and lingering, with a lovely hint of minerality and some spiced notes.

94 points	A classy version, showing precision balance to the integration of ripe black currant, apricot, golden raisin, slivered almond, toast and smoke notes with a fresh, firm frame of acidity and chalky minerality. There's a lovely viscosity to the creamy mousse, a textural echo on the lasting finish.

93 points	Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay planted in the communes of Grauves, Chouilly, Trépail, Oger and Vertus, Philipponnat's 2016 Extra-Brut Grand Blanc evokes aromas of brioche, walnuts, pastry, lemon, citrus and spices. Medium to full-bodied, round and layered, it's gourmand and textured with a pinpoint mousse and a long, delicate finish.

94 points	I like the fresh-croissant, candied-walnut, brioche and apple-crumble aromas here. It’s silky, sleek and creamy on the palate with very fine bubbles. Delicious pastry notes on the long finish.
