Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The extra-brut dosage (4.25 g/L) and partial malolactic fermentation preserve a lively, taut acidity.
Roundness
The 2018 vintage brings a generous ripeness that envelops the wine in a silky texture.
Power
100% Pinot Noir from the crus of Aÿ and Mareuil lends a decidedly vinous structure.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of anise, liquorice and spice with remarkable persistence.

TASTING NOTES

On the nose, floral notes of violet and acacia give way to ripe fruits — apricot, strawberry, morello cherry — lifted by a hint of toast. The palate opens with a broad, vinous attack driven by red forest fruits, before an elegant finish with notes of anise and liquorice.

Terroirs

Sourced exclusively from premier and grand cru villages of the Montagne de Reims — Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay — using only the cuvée (first pressing), this Blanc de Noirs is produced solely in the finest vintages, following a rigorous plot-by-plot selection.

Philipponnat

About this house

Founded in 1910 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Philipponnat is one of the rare houses to own a grand cru monopole: the Clos des Goisses, 5.5 hectares of steep slopes overlooking the Marne. Since 1997, Charles Philipponnat has embodied a vision of precision and terroir expression.

The house favours extended lees ageing, extra-brut or brut nature dosages, and plot-by-plot vinification to reveal the typicity of its crus from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Aÿ and Hautvillers — an exacting, artisanal approach that runs counter to the trend towards Champagne's corporate giants.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Apéritif

Apéritif

Its fine mousse and extra-brut vivacity make this champagne the ideal companion to Comté gougères to open a fine table.

Starter

The citrus and herbs of the gravlax resonate with the wine's floral and fruity notes, whilst the texture of the salmon embraces the roundness of the Pinot Noir.

Main course

Main course

The vinous power and maturity of the 2018 harmonise magnificently with the richness of the magret and the mellow warmth of the sweet spices.
