James Suckling

Raspberries, red apples, pie crust, cloves and grapefruit peel on the nose. Nicely fruity with delicious red berry notes coming to the forefront. Very fine bubbles. Excellent tension, too. Dry. 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. Disgorged October 2022. 4.5 g/L dosage. Drink now.

Philipponnat’s tête de cuvée, the 2016 Champagne Grand Cru 1522 Extra Brut is 70% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay, with the Pinot Noir coming from Aÿ and Verzy and the Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. It pours a copper straw hue and is highly aromatic, with rounded layers of spice along with notes of graham cracker, apricot, almond, and orange sherbet. Full-bodied without feeling too broad, it has a chalky, rich texture with a noble feel and a savory, mineral-tinged backbone. Long and mouthwatering on the palate, with a food-friendly, rounded feel, it has the intensity and power of the three sites where it originated and is a beautiful blend. Drink 2024-2044. 10,574 bottles were produced. Disgorged in October 2022, with 4.5 grams per liter dosage.

Description

The expression and elegance of a vintage champagne

The estate

Established for nearly five centuries in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the Philipponnat Champagne House is one of the historic names of the Champagne region. Singularity, excellence, generosity and simplicity are the values that guide this house which maintains its family-owned spirit. Owned by the house since 1935, the legendary Clos des Goisses is one of the oldest and most prestigious clos (walled vineyard) in the Champagne region. This jewel is the source of rare and exceptionally powerful champagnes.

The Philipponnat Champagne House looks after exceptional vineyards of 20 hectares of Premiers and Grands Crus located in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay.

The vineyard

1522 Grand Cru from Philipponnat is made from illustrious Champagne terroirs. The name of the cuvée refers to the date when the Philipponnat family settled in the village of Ay.

Winemaking and ageing

Made from the house's greatest vineyards, this exceptional cuvée was vinified partly in wood without malolactic fermentation to preserve its freshness and develop its complexity. Aged for several years, this champagne is a refined expression of the minerality, freshness and balance of the greatest Champagne terroirs.

Blend

1522 Grand Cru 2016 from Philipponnat is produced from a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
