Champagne Philipponnat is a historic Champagne house founded in 1522, with deep roots in the village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in the Vallée de la Marne. The Philipponnat family has been involved in viticulture for centuries, and the house has built a reputation for producing structured, expressive Champagnes with remarkable ageing potential.
The vineyards include several prestigious sites, most notably the legendary Clos des Goisses, one of the steepest and most distinctive single vineyards in Champagne. The house style is strongly influenced by Pinot Noir, which provides depth and power, balanced by Chardonnay for freshness and elegance.
Philipponnat Champagnes are known for their complexity and precision. Aromas often include citrus, ripe stone fruit and red berries, supported by notes of brioche, toasted almond and subtle spice. The wines show both richness and vibrant freshness, making them highly regarded among Champagne enthusiasts.
