196344

A true tribute to the historic terroir of Ay, this 2012 vintage takes its name from the year the Philipponnat family settled on these prestigious lands. Selected by Le Delas for its masterful balance, this Extra-Brut Champagne (dosage of just 4.25 g/l) combines the aromatic power of the dominant Pinot Noir with the mineral finesse of the Chardonnay. The addition of a still red wine from the Clos des Goisses plots gives it a unique coppery colour and a rare structural complexity. Food pairings, serving and storage: ► Sensory experience: Beneath a pale pink colour with brilliant highlights, the nose offers a pastry-like indulgence blending white chocolate, marzipan and notes of kirsch. The palate is full-bodied, marked by flavours of strawberry soup and red berries, before lingering on a refreshing mineral finish with hints of mandarin. ► Prestigious pairings: This characterful rosé is designed for the table. It enhances tender meats such as slow-cooked suckling lamb, but its minerality makes it equally suitable with premium shellfish or seafood. For dessert, it elegantly accompanies fresh red berries. ► Serving: To respect the complexity of its blend, which is partially vinified in oak, serve it between 8°C and 9°C as an aperitif, and allow it to warm to 10–12°C during a gourmet meal. The absence of malolactic fermentation ensures a persistent acidity ideal for restaurant service. ► Storage: Supplied in its protective case, this bottle can be stored in a cool, dark cellar for at least ten years. The eight years of ageing on lees already undertaken allows for immediate enjoyment whilst offering the potential to develop further into greater roundness and fullness.
