CHARLES PHILIPPONNAT

For five hundred years, Philipponnat family has left it mark on soil of Champagne region. The family’s home since the time of Apvril le Philipponnat who owned vines at Le Léon, between Ay and Dizy in 1522.

The heart of the Champagne wine-growing area, Philipponnat posesses a unique heritage with 20 hectares of vines in Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Avenay.
The House found the best possible way to renew its traditionals while prepetuating the best they have to offer. Philipponnat work to preserve precious and fragile, centuries-old terroirs, by using natural methods to work the soil, hoeing by hand and ploughing with horses. 

The Philipponnat’s legacy has passed down through the ages, each one of them takes great care to pass on expertise that themselves inherited from their predecessors. 

Philipponnat’s use of the solera process, the techniques is a longstanding House tradition of keeping reserve wines in oak barrels and including them in non-vintage blends and using this blend as reserve wine for the following blend. The progessive dilution allow every bottle to retain a trace of previous year’s wines blended since very beginning. 

Philipponnat was the first Champagne House to indicate the main year used in its non-vintage blends, the dosage and the date of disgorgement on back lables.

Philipponnat bring the high standards, with strong identity and enjoyment of quality to each and every single loyal customer, wheather they be connoisseurs or amateurs of fine wine, private individuals or professionals, wine-merchants or collectors, sommeliers restaurant or luxury hotel.

The special collection of Philipponnat crafts wines with exclusively first press juice from the finese grapes, mainly from Premier and Grand Cru plots, committed to harvesting grapes when they reach greater maturity than average in the Champagne wine- growing region. Chamapgne aging in wood gives them greater complexity without coarsening them. Wines are aged in a bottle on lees for three to eleven years.
