Philipponnat, Cuvee 1522 Rose other_regions_australia plenty of black fruit laced

plenty of black fruit laced with tar and black pepper

with a touch of mocha despite the lack of new oak

pure and restrained nose speaks of red currant

The natural ripeness of the year amps up the Chardonnay flavors

Really stimulating

Philipponnat, Cuvee 1522 Rose other_regions_australia plenty of black fruit lacedDisgorged in March 2019 with 4. 5 grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Extra Brut Ros Premier Cru 1522 may be the finest rendition of this cuve to date. Opening in the glass with aromas of red berries, fresh peach, rose petal and spices including cardamon and cinnamon, it's medium to full bodied, vinous and textural, with excellent concentration and a structured core, girdled by lively acids and concluding with a long and mineral finish.
