Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A lively acidity, preserved by the absence of malolactic fermentation, lends the wine a remarkable tension.
Roundness
The sec dosage at 30 g/L envelops the palate in a voluptuous, perfectly flattering sweetness.
Intensity
Elegance and finesse take precedence over concentration, in the airy style characteristic of Blancs de Blancs.
Length
The finish is long and persistent, carried by the minerality of the Premier and Grand Cru terroirs.

TASTING NOTES

The robe is golden with green highlights, threaded with a fine, persistent effervescence. On the nose, generous aromas of ripe white fruits — pear, stewed apple — fresh butter and acacia honey, with a hint of lightly toasted brioche. On the palate, the sweetness of the sec dosage balances a finely chiselled acidity, offering an ample texture and a mineral finish of admirable length.

About this house

Founded in 1910 in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ by Auguste and Pierre Philipponnat, the Maison is the continuation of more than five centuries of family presence on the Champagne terroirs — archives record a Philipponnat owning vines in Dizy as early as 1522. This centuries-old heritage is expressed today through a human-scaled house that owns 20 hectares of vines planted predominantly in Pinot Noir on the hillsides of Aÿ and Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

Philipponnat has built a worldwide reputation around its Clos des Goisses, a legendary 5.5-hectare plot acquired in 1935, whose vines are terraced on a south-south-east facing slope overlooking the Marne. The Maison embodies a distinctive style — precision, minerality, ageing potential — cultivated through a rigorous approach that places the authentic expression of terroir above all else.

Its citrus freshness and fine bubbles make it an ideal companion for freshly baked, piping-hot gougères.

The sweetness of the sec dosage resonates perfectly with the silky richness of foie gras.

The interplay of sweet and acidic between the orange sauce and the sec dosage brings out the very best in duck breast.
