Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 Champagne Grand Cru France Sparkling Wine is from Mareuil-Sur-Ay, made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It is well suited for celebrations, aperitifs and entertaining and pairs well with seafood, fried appetisers and light canapés.

History of the Wine
The wine takes its name from 1522, the year associated with the Philipponnat family's earliest recorded vineyard ownership in the area. The cuvée was created as a vintage expression linking the house's present-day Champagne production with that documented family vineyard history. That site-specific background is central to the wine's identity.

Guidelines
Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C to preserve freshness, balance and fine bubbles.
Use a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine glass and pour gently to retain the mousse and aromatic character.
For an older vintage, serve carefully and allow the wine to develop naturally in the glass rather than over-chilling it.
