Philipponnat Cuvée 1522 Rosé Extra Brut 2009

Tightly coiled and austere, showing the restraint of extra brut dosage at 4.5 grams per liter. The 72% Pinot Noir from Mareuil's Léon parcel drives intensity over immediate charm, with mineral precision that feels almost severe in its youth. This warm vintage wine paradoxically needs time, cellar for 2-3 years to allow the structure to soften and reveal its depth.
