How Cuvée 1522 Premier Cru Rosé 2014 Philipponnat is made

This exceptional cuvée is the result of a precise blend that highlights the nobility of Pinot Noir:

• 82% Pinot Noir: from the vineyards ofAy (Le Léon), Mailly and Verzy, it confers structure and power.
• 17% Chardonnay: from Verzy, it brings freshness and elegance.
• 8% Pinot Noir vinified as red: selected from the best plots in Mareuil-sur-Ay, it enriches the cuvée with fruity, spicy nuances.

Vinification follows a meticulous approach, aimed at preserving the fruit's brilliance and developing a unique complexity. Part of the wine is fermented in wood, without malolactic fermentation, to preserve its freshness and accentuate its aromatic depth. The rosé color of the cuvée is obtained by the addition, during blending, of a still Pinot Noir from the famous Clos des Goisses. With extra-brut dosage (4.25 g/l), the wine's purity is preserved, highlighting its minerality and natural expression.

This cuvée benefits from eight years' extended aging, allowing secondary and tertiary aromas to reveal themselves while retaining the freshness essential to the balance of rosé champagne.

The 2014 vintage

The 2014 vintage was distinguished by capricious weather, alternating between mild winters, early springs and a wet summer. Thanks to rigorous grape sorting and a harvest carried out between September 13 and 25, 2014, Maison Philipponnat was able to extract the best from this complex year, giving rise to a cuvée of great purity and remarkable aromatic precision.
