Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 Extra Brut 2019

The 2019 "Cuvée 1522 Extra-Brut? is already highly complex and expressive, but?like all champagnes of this caliber?it will certainly benefit from further bottle aging. On the nose, floral notes, cherry, and candied lemon initially take center stage, followed by mint and chalk. As it breathes, tropical hints emerge, adding further depth and complexity. On the palate, the champagne is powerful yet precise, with plenty of body, a clear structure, and a mineral edge. The dosage of just 4.5 g/l underscores its dry, focused style. A dense, exciting 1522 with plenty of wine character?true to the house style?and great potential for further development.
