On the engraving illustrating the label of the Cuvée 1522, the village of Ay, cradle of the Philipponnat family for sixteen generations, is recognized. This exceptional cuvée is exclusively elaborated from the best vineyards and the best grapes of the Maison, particularly from its historical plots of "Léon" in Ay, which give it all its breadth, its minerality and its typical peppery and spicy notes. An “extra-brut” that, at the table, accompanies iodized fish such as turbot, or white meats.
Pinot Nero 70%, Chardonnay 30%, rests on the lees for 8 years. Part of the base wines matures in wood, so that it can acquire a good aromatic complexity. The Extra-Brut dosage gives a wide, rich, intense and deep Champagne, supported by a vibrant mineral freshness. The "Cuvée 1522" is presented in the glass with a beautiful gold color, embellished with a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet seduces with intense and soft aromas of pain brioche, ripe fruit, elderberry, pastry and delicate spices, white pepper. The sip is broad and satisfying with mature and evolved aromas, rich fruit, hints of honey and intact final freshness.
