"The 2006 Brut Cuvée 1522 Premier Cru is powerful, rich and explosive, with a real sense of gravitas. With time in the glass, the 2006 turns expansive and creamy as it shows off its considerable personality. This blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, taken mostly from Philipponnat's holdings in the Leon lieu-dit in Aÿ, is deeply expressive, with plenty of the intensity and volume that is typical of Aÿ Champagnes. Over time, the 2006 becomes more graceful and elegant."
