Här redovisar och presenterar vi kända vinskribenters utlåtande om specifika viner. Utöver dessa lägger vi in en egen kommentar när vi har provat samma vin.

James Suckling

Here’s a very concentrated and sophisticated Champagne that has terrific dried pear fruit and a lot of spiced bread character. Breathtaking intensity and balance at the very long and dramatic finish. So much positive energy! A pure pinot noir that was vinified entirely in oak casks. Limited production. Disgorged June 2022 and marketed with 4.5 g/l dosage. Drink or hold.

Decanter Magazine

This is a serious, vinous and utterly moreish Pinot Noir from the Vallé de la Marne that defies the difficult reputation of the 2014 vintage. There is a touch of savoury wildness to it, but the blackberry, raspberry and dried apple fruit is fulsome and saturated, lifted with some allspice and shaped with a surprising chalky, mineral tension. Compelling.

Jeb Dunnuck

A tightly closed fist, the 2014 Champagne Grand Cru Le Léon Ay Extra Brut is packed with tension and intensity that commands time to ease its grip. From a south-facing slope, but not as steep as the Clos de Goisses, it‘s entirely composed of Pinot Noir without undergoing malolactic fermentation. In the glass, it sports a bright yellow hue and offers up aromas notes of stone fruit with Mirabelle plum and white peach, star anise, and orange peel. The palate is angular and zesty, with nervous energy, and its lively mousse accents its spice and stony mineral texture. With time in the glass, it gains in intensity, revealing a more powerful side that will continue to expand with time. Drink 2025-2045.

From the company's historic vineyard in A˙ vinified from the finest part of the first pressing then in oak barrels without filtration or malolactic fermentation. 2200 bottles with 4.5 gram dosage. Tasted side by side with the 2014 Philipponnat Mareuil-sur-A˙, Le Léon feels more precise and detail-focused. More sour, more edge and minerality and a nice spice of pure hazelnut aroma.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

From grapes picked in the Le Leon area, a single-plot vineyard covering 2.5 hectares, the 2014 Le Léon extra brut from Philipponnat has a gorgeous, fresh bouquet with aromas of white pepper, spring flowers, red berries, pear, white fruits and menthol intertwined with vanilla and spice notes. Medium to full-bodied, incisive and pure, it’s crystalline with a delicate, beautifully fine-boned and intensely mineral palate that concludes with a penetrating, mouthwatering, very long finish. This 100% Pinot Noir could see its 20th anniversary in fine form.

Druvor

100% Pinots Noir från den enda lotten på Le Léon i Ay. Första pressjuice av exklusivt Grand Cru-druvor från hjärtat av vinodlingsområdet Champagne.

Vinifiering

Vinifierad med traditionella metoder för att undvika för tidig oxidation. Alla viner är fatjästa. "Extra-brut" dosering (4,25 g/liter) för att upprätthålla en balans mellan friskhet och vinositet utan att maskera vinets karaktär och renhet.

[Intervju med Charles Philipponnat]

Philipponnat står som en vördnadsvärd champagnegods djupt sammanflätad med den självbetitlade familjens arv. Med rötter som går tillbaka till 1500-talet, när de tjänade som vinodlare och handlare och levererade vin till Ludvig XIV:s berömda hov, har familjen Philipponnat etsat sin prägel på regionens vinodlingshistoria. Deras källare från 1700-talet, en integrerad del av Château de Mareuil, vittnar om detta bestående arv. Mer om Philipponnat  Philipponnat har vunnit rykte för sina prestigefyllda Clos des Goisses vintage deluxe cuvéer,...

Årgång 2014 i Champagne

★★

Våren var varm och gav utrymme för riklig frukt. Som kontrast var juli extremt kall och regnig. En välkommen värmebölja i slutet av augusti skyndade på skörden i september. Slutresultatet är en ojämn årgång med stora regionala skillnader och en hel del urvattnade och gräsdoftande viner. Det blev dock en hel del fin Grand cru, såsom Gimonnet Spécial Club Cramant
