Philipponnat1522 Grand Cru 2018
About this product
For over 500 years, the Philipponnat family has been deeply rooted in the heart of Champagne's finest terroirs, in Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay. A family of vignerons, winemakers and merchants since the 16th century, they famously supplied their wines to Louis XIV, the Sun King. The house’s 20 hectares of vines are Grand and Premier Cru, ensuring quality and intensity in the wines. First press juice from exclusively Grand Cru plots. The name of Cuvée 1522 is a tribute to the year when the Philipponnat family settled in the village of Ay, in the heart of the Champagne vine-growing area. This exceptional vintage Champagne is light gold and voluminous in colour. An intense, floral nose, with notes of fruit blossom, cherry, elderflower and hints of violet lead to an expressive and generous palate. It offers dark fruits aromas (blackberry, ripe - even candied - blackcurrant, black cherry) combined with notes of almond, hints of dried fruit and nuts. The finish is remarkably fresh.

Vintage 2018
93 points
The 2018 Extra Brut 1522 is a blend of 72% Pinot Noir from Ay and 28% from Oger. Ample and resonant in the glass, the 2018 is a wine of notable stature. Pinot is very much front and center in both the wine's flavor profile and structural feel. Red plum, kirsch, spice, chamomile, leather and dried flowers build into the huge, palate-staining finish. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2023.
