France
France is one of the oldest and largest wine producers with a history dating back to the 6th century BC. A number of laws to control the quality of French wine were passed in 1935, France now has one of the strictest laws concerning winemaking. They are the number one producer of wine by value throughout the world.
Champagne Philipponnat
2000 Cuvee 1522
An exceptional Cuvée, the wine is produced using only the very best grapes and then blended to the highest standard of Prestige Cuvées. Both balanced and complex, it is dosed as an Extra-Brut and has a crisp freshness that enhances its extraordinary length and the special characteristics of the 2000 vintage. Its very distinctive style aims for intensity rather than power. It is very long on the palate while the aromas remain precise and delicate. A stunning match with seashells, caviar and sushi.
