🏰 The 2007 Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 Rosé is a distinguished Champagne, crafted from 70% Pinot Noir (including 8.5% vinified as red wine from Mareuil-sur-Ay) and 30% Chardonnay from Mesnil-sur-Oger. The 2007 vintage in Champagne was generally considered challenging but capable of producing elegant wines from skilled producers. This Cuvée 1522 Rosé benefits from eight years of aging on lees, contributing to its complexity while retaining remarkable freshness. Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of the World, describes it as having a medium-deep rosé color with a copper hue and youthful mousse. The nose is generous with creamy notes, fresh bread, butter, vanilla, citrus, and sweet red berries. On the palate, it offers medium weight with sour red fruit notes like red currant and cherry, a soft and creamy mousse, refreshing acidity, and a long finish with approaching complexity. Other tasting notes mention rose petals, grapefruit peel, honey, caramel, strawberry, brioche, Matcha tea, and blood orange, with a fine minerality. 【 Eight years of lees aging for complexity and freshness 】.
