About the winery: Philipponnat is one of the esteemed Champagne houses, renowned for producing some of the region’s most celebrated wines, including the historic and distinguished single-vineyard Champagne, Clos des Goisses. The winery’s main courtyard features a beautiful classic façade behind a gate adorned with the family coat of arms. This leads to the heart of Philipponnat, its 18th-century cellars where the wines are carefully aged to perfection.

Philipponnat’s vineyards, particularly Clos des Goisses, are among the most distinctive in Champagne. The unique terroir of Clos des Goisses, with its steep, south-facing slopes, contributes to the intensity and longevity of the wines.

Philipponnat combines traditional methods with meticulous attention to detail. They practice organic farming, ensuring the purity and expression of their terroir. The wines undergo slow maturation in their historical cellars, which provides the ideal conditions for developing complex flavors and aromas. The winery is known for its commitment to producing champagnes that balance intensity with freshness.
