Regarding the Champagne Philipponnat Mareuil sur Aÿ 2014
Cuvée Mareuil Sur Ay 2014 is the third vintage of this plot-based cuvée offered by Maison Philipponnat. Only 3,210 bottles were produced!
This is the most precise expression of the best Mareuil Sur Ay parcels in the Maison's vineyard, in 100% Pinot Noir,100% Premiers Crus.
The bubbles are fine, the nose expressive and intense with yellow fruit aromas, and the palate intense with tropical fruit aromas and a fresh, persistent finish.
This cuvée is dosed as Extra-Brut (4.5 gr/l) to maintain the balance between freshness and vinosity and not mask the wine's character and purity.
It has been aged for at least seven years to achieve greater complexity and bring out the secondary and tertiary aromas that are the hallmark of prolonged aging on the lees.
Serve Blanc de Noirs chilled (around 8-9°c) as an aperitif, or at around 10-12°c with a meal, to accompany white meats, game birds or soft cheeses.
It can be cellared for up to 10 years!
