The 2006 Philipponnat “Cuvée 1522” Grand Cru Brut Rosé spent six years on the lees
and is made from a cépages of sixty-five percent pinot noir and thirty-five percent chardonnay.
The wine spent six years aging on its lees and its dosage is also five grams per liter, again,
making this in reality an Extra Brut bottling. This is a great wine, delivering a deep and vibrant
bouquet of strawberries, orange zest, plenty of smokiness, a beautiful base of chalky soil tones,
wheat toast and a gentle topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and
very suave on the attack, with fine mid-palate concentration, frothy mousse and great complexity
and grip on the very, very long and supremely elegant finish. Chapeau! 2014-2035.
