AboutPhilipponnat
The Philipponnat family’s Champagne history reaches back to 1522, when Apvril Le Philipponnat was recorded as a vine owner between Ay and Dizy. Auguste and Pierre Philipponnat established the modern house in 1910 and acquired cellars at the Château de Mareuil. The house works about twenty hectares of Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards, alongside fruit from long-standing partner growers.
Clos des Goisses, its steep, south-facing walled vineyard at Mareuil-sur-Ay, covers 5.83 hectares. Pierre acquired the site in 1935 and made its wine separately. In the vineyards, the house uses mechanical cultivation instead of herbicides, along with cover crops, beehives and hedges intended to support soil life and biodiversity.

French Sparkling
Pear, mirabelle and ripe orchard fruit unfold with spice, honey, brioche and a delicate iodine note. Full-bodied and vinous, the palate is concentrated and layered, with racy acidity shaping remarkable depth. Liquorice, savoury sap and fine tension carry the dense, structured finish with impressive persistence.

French Sparkling
Vine blossom and linden lead with citrus, summer berries, honey and lightly toasted bread. The palate is vinous and full-bodied, combining redcurrant, raspberry and ripe grape with a lively, persistent mousse. Biscuit and freshly baked bread return on the generous, notably long and harmonious finish.
