In 1696, Apvril’s descendants, who were often ‘Royal Mayors’ of Ay, registered the family coat of arms in the Armorial de France. Today, this same coat of arms adorns all the House’s bottles. ?The labels of Philipponnat, vineyard owners and wine merchants, were among the first to bear the signature of sparkling Champagnes as early as the mid-19th century.

Wine making | A portion of the wines are vinified in wooden barrels without malolactic fermentation to preserve the wine’s freshness, allowing it to develop complexity. The pink colour is obtained by adding a still Pinot Noir wine (usually from the Clos des Goisses) during the initial blending process. Both ample and tangy, this cuvée is eminently suitable for low dosage: extra-brut, with only 4.25 g of sugar per litre, which is just one third of the conventional dosage for a brut Champagne. |
Aging | 8 years: at this age the freshness is still present, which is essential for rosé Champagne, but the benefit of ageing on lees has reached its full potential. |
Allergens | Contains sulphites |
