Philipponnat stands as a symbol of heritage, integrity, and distinction in the world of Champagne. A family-owned house with centuries of tradition, it is celebrated for its unique approach that combines technical precision with deep respect for the natural character of each vintage and parcel of land.
At the core of Philipponnat’s philosophy lies a commitment to honest winemaking — crafting Champagnes that reveal, rather than mask, the personality of the grape and the expression of the year. The house is known for its focus on Pinot Noir, vinified to highlight power, finesse, and depth.
Malolactic fermentation is deliberately avoided to preserve the wine’s natural freshness and structure, while aging is extended and dosage kept low, allowing the wine’s true identity to shine. Philipponnat is especially renowned for its prestigious cuvée, Clos des Goisses — often regarded as one of the most complex and compelling Champagnes in existence.
