The freshness and aromatic purity of an exceptional champagne

The property

Established for nearly five centuries in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the Philipponnat Champagne House is one of the historic names of the Champagne region. Singularity, excellence, generosity and simplicity are the values that guide this house, which has remained family-oriented. Owned by the house since 1935, the mythical Clos des Goisses is one of the oldest and most prestigious enclosed vineyards in Champagne. This gem is the origin of rare champagnes with exceptional power.

The Philipponnat House oversees an exceptional vineyard of 20 hectares in Premiers and Grands Crus in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Avenay.
