About Philipponnat
The great French Champagne region gives home to the Philipponnat family. Since 1522, Philipponnat s legacy has been passed down through the ages. A long line of men and women took great care to pass on the family expertise and values: individuality, excellence, generosity, and humility. Established in the heart of the Champagne wine-growing area, a Pinot Noir champagne specialist, Philipponnat possesses a unique heritage: Its magnificent, historic 18th-century cellars and an exceptional walled single vineyard: The Clos des Goisses. Philipponnat owns 18 hectares of vines and farms another two under a sharecropping agreement, all of which are located in Mareuil-Sur-A , A , Avenay Val d Or, and Mutigny. Mareuil-Sur-A makes up the majority of the house s holdings, and their 11 hectares there include the magnificent, 5.5-hectare Clos des Goisses, Champagne s most renowned vineyard site, from which they make vintage-dated, single-vineyard champagne. The house has traditionally fermented all wines in tank or old oak foudres, but since 2000 the Clos des Goisses has been partially fermented in 228-liter oak barrels. Some barrel-fermented wine can be used for other cuv es as well, and this is likely to increase in the future. In 2004, Philipponnat completed a new winery next to the cellars in Mareuil-Sur-A to accommodate all of the winemaking, and this has undoubtedly resulted in an improvement in quality, as in the past their press house was located in Reims. While the Clos des Goisses is always made without malolactic, the other champagnes contain a portion of malolactic wines depending on the cuv e and the vintage.
