About Champagne Philipponnat Cuvée n°1522 2004
Bottle (75cl)

1522 is the year when the history of Champagnes Philipponnat began. Indeed, going back through the archives of the property, we find traces of Apvril le Philipponnat, owner of a few vines in the place called "Le Léon", near the village of Aÿ.
5 centuries later, the Philipponnat House commemorates its origins by creating the Cuvée 1522.

Made from a blend of 70% Pinot Noir (from the historic plot of "Le Léon") and 30% Chardonnay, Cuvée 1522 is vinified in wood and does not undergo malolactic fermentation, in order to preserve all its freshness and natural complexity. The Cuvée 1522 is then placed in the cellar for an ageing period of 6 to 8 years on the lees before being marketed.

In the glass, the Champagne Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 2004 has a magnificent pale yellow colour with a fine and abundant effervescence.
On the first nose, it offers an elegant and complex bouquet of crisp white fruits and juicy citrus fruits intermingled with subtle notes of mint, tea and greedy dried fruits. After a few swirls in the glass, the greedy scents of dried fruits gain fullness, bringing spicy notes of white pepper with them.
On the palate, Champagne Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 2004 offers a mineral and velvety profile. The aromas of fresh fruits unfold in the middle of the mouth, supported by a silky foam and a beautiful iodized structure, before finishing on a gracefully structured finish with incredible aromatic persistence.

The Champagne Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 2004 will reach its ideal tasting range in 2015 and should continue to gain in maturity until 2028.
