Description

The name of the cuvée 1522 pays homage to the year when the Philipponnat family took root in the village of Ay, in the heart of the Champagne region. The Pinot Noir comes from the historic vineyard of “Léon” in Ay, the Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. A proportion of the wines are vinified in oak barrels and do not undergo malolactic fermentation to preserve the freshness of the wine and allow it to gain in complexity. Full-bodied and tangy at the same time, this cuvée lends itself perfectly to a low dosage of extra-brut. Eight years of ageing on the lees magnifies this cuvée while preserving its original freshness.
