VINE & RARE SELECTIONS® Philipponnat Reserve Speciale 1989 [1.5 L MAGNUM] (Champagne, France) – 6045866229919

About the Domaine:
For almost five hundred years, the Philipponnat family has left its mark on the soil of the Champagne region. Generations have cultivated the land at Ay, the family’s home since the time of Apvril le Philipponnat who owned vines at Le Léon, between Ay and Dizy, in 1522. In the 16th century, the family’s ancestors were winegrowers and merchants, suppliers to the court of Louis XIV, magistrates and Royal Mayors of Ay – a town which was directly dependent on the Crown since the era of the Counts of Champagne.

Philipponnat was the first Champagne House to indicate the main year used in its non-vintage blends, the dosage and the date of disgorgement on back labels, informing consumers and wine experts of the characteristics of each cuvée.

Tasting Notes:
The color is golden, accompanied by a fine effervescence. The nose is fine and delicate, revealing sweet floral scents. The palate is lively, without any aggressiveness, and leads to a long and tasty finish.
