🏰The 2015 Philipponnat 1er Cru La Remissonne is an 【outstanding single-parcel Champagne from the Premier Cru terroir of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ】, earning high praise with 96 points from James Suckling and Robert Parker. This 100% Pinot Noir Extra Brut (4.5 g/l dosage) is vinified in barrels with no malolactic fermentation and aged seven to nine years on lees, resulting in a bronze-gold hue with luminous highlights. It offers an expressive and elegant nose of yellow fruits, apricot, quince, violet, brioche, vanilla, blood orange peel, and kirsch, evolving towards pastry cream and toasted almonds. The palate is round, generous, and creamy, with voluptuous fruit fullness, lively acidity, and a long, chalky, mineral finish. Only 2,710 bottles were produced in this vintage. 🍴 This gastronomic Champagne pairs beautifully with delicate fish, game, foie gras, oysters, seafood, delicate white meats, and refined poultry. For an Asian pairing, consider steamed garoupa, crispy fried chicken, or delicate dim sum. It also complements creamy cheeses and chocolate desserts. 🥂 Perfect for a truly special celebration, a gourmet meal, or as a sophisticated aperitif. Its complexity and aging potential make it a fantastic addition to any cellar, capable of developing dried fruits and more complexity in 5 to 10 years.
