This grand cru wine is named in celebration of the date of the Philipponnat family's arrival in the village of Aÿ. It is a mature blend of 70% Pinot Noir with Chardonnay, proportions that are typical of this producer on the Montagne de Reims. Rich, lightly toasty with green-apple and pear flavors, the wine is ready to drink.

Disgorged in February 2020 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2012 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Cuvée 1522 is already showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass with hints of golden orchard fruit, fresh peach, honeycomb and blanched almonds. Full-bodied, vinous and concentrated, it's elegantly muscular, with terrific depth at the core, racy acids and a seamless profile. Given its very recent disgorgement, it's surprisingly open, but it will nonetheless reward bottle age.

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. Disgorged February 2020. Dosage 4.5 g/l. 10,206 bottles. Mainly Aÿ, Chouilly and Oger.
Sumptuous nose suggests maturity though not age. Lightly savoury oak influence and really very fine indeed. Great balance. This tastes as fine and beautifully balanced as many champagnes that cost more. Clean and neat and obviously capable of further development.
