The champagne Champagne Philipponnat 1522 Grand Cru Extra Brut, vintage 2014 from the winery Champagne Philipponnat has been rated in 2021 by Peter Moser with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Pinot Noir, Chardonnay from the region Champagne in France.
An initial hint of Granny Smith apple soon gives way to the creamy, salty nose. The palate immediately counters this with poise and freshness. Yes, there's the Pinot body with its taut muscles, but a lively, penetrating and electric freshness counterbalances this, supported by creamy, fine mousse: all together making a delicious counterpoint. The finish has immense salinity, hints of oyster shells and a sense of salt flakes on peppery rye sourdough bread. The length is phenomenal, the freshness epitomises 2014.

Yes, there is that Pinot-body with its toned muscle, but a vivid, pervasive and electric freshness holds against that, supported by creamy, fine mousse, resulting in a delicious counterpoint. The finish has immense saltiness, hints of oystershell and a feeling of salt flake crushed on peppery rye sourdough bread. The length is phenomenal, the freshness is emblematic of 2014. A.K
