Philipponnat Champagne 1522 Grand Cru Extra Brut 2016
The name of the Cuvée 1522 pays tribute to the year in which the Philipponnat family arrived in the village of Ay, in the heart of Champagne. Browsing through the Maison's archives, one finds traces of the family's ancestors, whose progenitor, Apvril le Philipponnat, had owned vineyards in the "Léon" village, between Ay and Dizy, as far back as 1522.

Perlage

Fine and persistent.

Colour

Pink with garnet reflections.

Bouquet

An intense, floral nose, with notes of fruit blossom, cherry, elderflower and hints of violet.

Flavour

A beautiful richness that expresses itself through accents of honey, caramelised mirabelles and light vanilla. The finish is acidulous, typical of the Extra Brut.

Pairing

The particularly dry character of this 'Extra-Brut' dosed cuvée makes for a beautiful combination with seafood, boiled or grilled fish. Combining it with birds such as capon makes for an interesting dry-fatty contrast, and an even bolder one is achieved with caviar or very spicy dishes such as an Indian tandoori. However, sweet-sour and sugary falvours should be avoided.

Origin The Pinot Noir comes from the company's vineyard “Le Léon” in Ay, and the Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger.
Vinification A portion of the wines are vinified in wooden barrels without malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine’s freshness, allowing it to develop complexity. Both ample and tangy, this cuvée is eminently suitable for low dosage, extra brut, with only 4.25 g/litre, which is just one-third of the conventional dosage for a brut Champagne.
Ageing 8 years on the lees, which allows the wine to retain its original freshness.
Allergens Contains sulphites
