Champagne Philipponnat Le Leon Grand Cru 2015 (750ml)

Glowing with energy, the 2015 Le Léon showcases pure lemon zest, white peach and wildflower honey, carried over a vibrant mineral frame. Made from vineyards near Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, with some Clos des Goisses fruit, it delivers a rich but lifted palate framed by silky mousse and notes of starfruit, orange blossom and crushed stone. Full-bodied yet fresh, with a saline, chalky tension running underneath the fruit, this Champagne finishes long and elegant. Disgorged January 2023, it captures the ripeness of 2015 with superb balance.
