The 2016 Extra-Brut Cuvée 1522 is a very pretty wine, especially for the vintage. Spice, dried pear, mint and chamomile are some of the notes that grace the 2016. There's lovely aromatic presence and enough mid-palate pliancy to make for highly enjoyable drinking for at least the next handful of years. The 1522 is built on a core from Aÿ (Le Leon), plus fruit from Verzy and Mesnil. Disgorged: September 2022. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
