Champagne Philipponnat Le Leon Grand Cru 2015 (750ml)
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.

The 2015 Champagne Grand Blanc Extra Brut is mainly from Vertus, but also Trapail and Verzenay, with some downgraded fruit from Clos des Goisses. The wine pours a bright yellow hue and offers lifted aromas of lemon sorbet, orange blossoms, and star fruit. Medium-bodied with a lively mousse, it takes on a silky mineral texture with fresh fruit, and though it may not be the longest on the palate, it offers a lot of classic charm and retains good freshness for the vintage. This is the last edition that will be bottled in clear glass. Drink 2024-2034. Disgorged January 2023. 4.5 grams per liter dosage. 11/23
