Along with Clos des Goisses, Cuvée 1522 Grand Cru symbolizes the very best of Philipponnat's expertise. This champagne pays tribute to the year 1522, when the Philipponnat family settled in the village of Aÿ. It is of course this terroir that is predominantly represented in the blend, with 65% Pinot Noir from the house's own vineyards in this classified Grand Cru village in the Marne Valley. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger) completes this beautiful blend.
Its richness, complexity and finesse make it an extremely prized wine in the world of gastronomy, to accompany exceptional dishes.
2007 is an exceptional vintage, placed under the sign of precocitý with a particularly mild winter and a warm spring. The harvest begań in August under a summer sun, with generous bunches of grapes of fine qualitý. A vintage characterized by magnificent ageing potential.
Cuvée 1522 is partially vinified in wood without malolactic fermentation, enabling a combination of complexity and freshness.
This is a champagne with an intense, brilliant gold color, fine bubbles and a persistent cordon. On the nose, the champagne is expressive and open, with gourmet notes of warm bread and honey. On the palate, this rich cuvée reveals notes of honey, caramelized mirabelle plums and light vanilla. The finish is tangy, typical of the vintage.
