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

Wine making | Malolactic fermentation is systematically sought after, except for a fraction of wines which are fermented in wooden casks. The red Pinot Noir is made from "free-run" juice, macerated for 12 to 14 days and used in light proportions (7 to 8 %) in order to obtain a delicately coloured rosé, but one with character and distinctive taste. The dosage is kept small (9 grams/litre) in order to preserve a harmonious balance of dryness, freshness and fruitiness. |
Aging | Around 3 years on the yeast, much longer than the 15 months legal minimum. All wines are given three months between disgorgement and shipping. Each bottle bears its disgorgement date on its back label. |
