PHILIPPE FONTAINE Brut Tradition Grower Champange

Philippe Fontaine Brut Tradition Grower Champagne (NV)

Blanc de Noirs Brut Tradition

From the chalky, marly soils of Balnot-sur-Laignes in the Côte des Bar (Aube), fourth-generation vigneron Philippe Fontaine crafts his flagship grower Champagne entirely from estate fruit.

A classic yet uncommon 70% Pinot Noir / 30% Pinot Meunier blend from 30-year-old vines, this cuvée receives extended aging of 24 months sur latte before disgorgement. The result is a full-bodied, structured Champagne with creamy richness rarely found at this price.

Tasting Notes Golden citrus, ripe orchard fruits, Bartlett pear, and subtle toasted almond rise from the glass. The palate is silky and textured, showing generous fruit, fine mousse, and a fresh, cleansing finish that lingers with precision.
