    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    From a vintage that remains a little under the radar, Philipponnat's1522 2014 boasts beautiful tangy bright golden fruit, great precision and a real sense of dynamism. It is both intense but beautifully fresh too, the 81% of Pinot Noir dominates and indeed you could be forgiving for thinking it a Blanc de Noirs and yet there's an elegance and gorgeous textural quality that comes from the Chardonnay. It reminds me a little bit of Krug 169th Edition. You get the impression this would be delicious with or without bubbles - always a good sign.

    The 2014 Extra-Brut Cuvée 1522 is terrific. Bright and finely cut, the 2014 is immediately full of charm, starting with a bouquet that is absolutely beguiling. Dried pear, chamomile, mint and orange peel lend quite a bit of nuance, but it is the wine"s energy and bright acids that I find most attractive. Dosage is 4.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: March, 2021. (Originally published in May 2021)
