Expert Ratings
Robert Parker 96/100
"The 1997 Clos des Goisses L.V. is described as a powerful and expressive champagne. The nose reveals aromas of ripe orchard fruits, toasted brioche, honey, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with a creamy texture and vibrant acidity that balances the intense fruit flavors. The finish is long and lingering, marked by a pronounced minerality and hints of spice."
More About The Winery
Champagne Philipponnat is a historic family house based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, with roots in the region dating back to 1522. For over five centuries, the Philipponnat family has been closely connected to Champagne, building a reputation for precise, terroir-driven wines with strong Pinot Noir character. Today, the house is led by Charles Philipponnat, continuing the family’s commitment to quality and identity.
The house owns vineyards in some of Champagne’s finest terroirs, including Premier and Grand Cru villages across the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. Pinot Noir plays a central role in the style, bringing structure, depth, and ageing potential, complemented by Chardonnay for freshness and Pinot Meunier for balance. Sustainable viticulture and careful parcel selection are key elements of the philosophy.
Philipponnat is particularly renowned for its iconic Clos des Goisses, a historic single vineyard overlooking the Marne River, known for producing powerful, structured, and long-lived Champagnes. Across the range, the wines are vinified with precision, often using a proportion of oak and reserve wines to enhance complexity while maintaining freshness and purity.
The style of Champagne Philipponnat is defined by tension, vinosity, and elegance, offering structured Champagnes with depth, mineral backbone, and excellent ageing potential.
