Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2014 Extra-Brut Cuvée 1522 is terrific. Bright and finely cut, the 2014 is immediately full of charm, starting with a bouquet that is absolutely beguiling. Dried pear, chamomile, mint and orange peel lend quite a bit of nuance, but it is the wine"s energy and bright acids that I find most attractive. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2021. (Originally published in May 2021)

Disgorged in March 2021 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, Philipponnat's 2014 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Cuvée 1522 exhibits aromas of crisp yellow apples, stone fruit, buttery pastry and citrus oil. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and elegantly vinous, with a layered core of fruit, bright girdling acids and a seamless profile, it's beautifully balanced and should age with considerable grace. As I've written before, this cuvée derives its name from the year in which the Philipponnat family settled in Ay, and it's intended to foreground the virtues of the wines of that village.
About the Producer
Philibonne Champagne's winemaking philosophy is: let nature take its course. They believe that a good winemaker does not need to carry out large-scale reforms on wine, because the personality and characteristics of grapes are all derived from nature, and any artificial modification will only affect the quality of the wine. God has given Philippine Champagne its unique soil and climate, which give its wines a unique quality and character. The rich aroma and fresh taste of Philippine Champagne make it a perfect match with a variety of cuisines, making it a favorite of many top restaurants, hotels, gourmets and connoisseurs. Philipponna has a wide range of champagnes, including Philipponnat Brut Royale Reserve, Philipponnat Brut Reserve Rosee and Philipponnat Grande Champagne. Blanc). In addition, Filippona is proud of the aged Clos des Goisses. After a long period of ageing, the Champagne Côtes de la Garcia must be freed of precipitation as required and with the personal approval of Mr. Charles Philipponnat, the current head of Champagne Philipponnat. The complex and fresh taste of the Champagne Cerro Champagne gives people a wonderful enjoyment. This wine has great ageing potential, with the oldest wines dating back to the 1940s.
