Description
The expression and elegance of a vintage Champagne
The estate
Based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ for nearly five centuries, the House of Champagne Philipponnat is one of the historic names of the Champagne region. Singularity, excellence, generosity and simplicity are the values that guide this house, which has retained its family spirit. Owned by the house since 1935, the legendary Clos des Goisses is one of the oldest and most prestigious clos in Champagne. This gem gives rise to rare Champagnes of exceptional power.
The House of Champagne Philipponnat tends an exceptional 20-hectare vineyard of Premier and Grand Cru sites, located notably in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay.
The vineyard
The Cuvée 1522 Grand Cru by Philipponnat is crafted from illustrious terroirs in Champagne. The name of Philipponnat's Cuvée 1522 Grand Cru refers to the year in which the Philipponnat family settled in the village of Ay.
Winemaking and ageing
Made from the house's finest vineyards, this exceptional cuvée is partly vinified in oak without malolactic fermentation to preserve its freshness and develop its complexity. Aged for several years, this 2016 vintage Champagne is a refined expression of the minerality, freshness and balance of Champagne's greatest terroirs.
Blend
The Cuvée 1522 Grand Cru 2016 by Philipponnat is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
