Description
Classic Method Extra Brut Champagne, produced by Philipponnat. 2015 vintage. A Champagne excellence, a Premier Cru 1522 Rosé Extra Brut that enchants with its refinement and complexity. A portion of the wine (approximately 50%) is fermented in wood without malolactic fermentation, preserving all its freshness and allowing it to acquire greater complexity. Aged on lees for eight years, it still offers the essential freshness of a rosé, while already revealing its benefits. Fine, lively bubbles. A spicy nose with hints of Espelette pepper, combined with notes of Kirsch brandy and stone fruit aromas. A rosé with coppery highlights. A full-bodied palate, marked by aromas of peach, strawberries in syrup, and cream. A lovely freshness finish, typical of this vintage.

In 1696, Apvril’s descendants, who were often ‘Royal Mayors’ of Ay, registered the family coat of arms in the Armorial de France. Today, this same coat of arms adorns all the House’s bottles. ?The labels of Philipponnat, vineyard owners and wine merchants, were among the first to bear the signature of sparkling Champagnes as early as the mid-19th century.
