Consisting of 5.5 hectares with a steeply sloping, south-facing vineyard (today 3.5 hectares of Pinot Noir , Chardonnay 2 hectares, but in 1964 it was exclusively Chardonnay), the soils are characterised by the presence of limestone on the surface and an average temperature 1.5 °C higher than in the rest of Champagne, this is a special place and the wine is truly remarkable.
Philipponnat is primarily a Pinot Noir house and its vineyards are located in Mareuil sur Ay , Ay , Avenay and Mutigny. However, all its cuvées contain at least 30 % Chardonnay. Its 20 hectares of vineyards account for about one third of the total requirement, the rest being purchased from growers .
In 1990, Philipponnat's reputation began to slip (it became part of the Marie - Brizard drinks group in 1970), and in 1997 the house was bought by Bruno Paillard and became part of the Lanson - Boizel - Chanoine Champagne Group. Charles Philipponnat , grandson of Auguste who had worked at Moët, was brought in to run the house in 1999. Production is currently around 600-700,000 bottles per year and the quality is impeccable throughout the range. Read more
