Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The extra-brut dosage of 4.25 g/L and the absence of malolactic fermentation on 72% of the wines deliver a chiselled tension and remarkable vivacity.
Roundness
Partial barrel-vinification (26%) and the predominance of Pinot Noir from Aÿ lend a creamy, enveloping attack.
Power
The chalky terroir of Léon in Aÿ expresses a confident power, carried by characteristic peppery and spiced notes.
Length on the Palate
The finish, drawn out on white spices and chalky minerality, marks an exceptional aromatic persistence.

TASTING NOTES

Golden robe with amber highlights, fine and remarkably persistent bubbles. On the nose, pastry notes and candied citrus intertwine with hints of toasted hazelnut and chalk. The palate opens with a generous, creamy attack underpinned by the signature peppery character of the Aÿ terroir, before a long, saline and mineral finish.

Terroirs

Drawn exclusively from the Maison's Grand Cru vineyards, most notably the historic parcels of 'Léon' in Aÿ, which lend depth, minerality and the characteristic peppery notes. Chardonnay from Oger completes the blend, contributing precision and fresh momentum.

Philipponnat

About this house

Rooted in Aÿ since 1522 — the year from which this cuvée takes its name — Maison Philipponnat is one of the rare houses to maintain an unbroken family bond with the Champenois vine across sixteen generations. Owner of the mythical Clos des Goisses, it has built its reputation on champagnes of rare precision and verticality.

Under the stewardship of Charles Philipponnat, the house champions meticulous viticulture and deliberately low dosages, refusing to mask the terroir behind residual sugar. Partial barrel-fermentation, extended lees ageing and uncompromising extra-brut style: a house of the highest standards that places Philipponnat among the essential references of Champagne.
