Champagne Philipponnat is one of the true gems among Champagne houses.  One primary reason is that it produces one of the region’s most renowned Champagnes, the historic, oldest single-vineyard Clos des Goisses.

Located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, the family in 1935 acquired the most praised vineyards of the district, the Clos des Goisses. Currently Philipponat now owns a total of 20ha of vineyards, 11 of them in Mareuil itself, including the astounding Clos des Goisses. The rest are nearby in Aÿ, Avenay and Mutigny along the south-facing scarp between Aÿ and Epernay.

Using great vision, technical skill and a perfectionist’s attention to detail, Charles has created a range of Champagnes with few peers for quality and character. This ranges from the delicious NV Royale Réserve line (Brut, Rosé, and no-dosage) which are among the finest non-vintage Champagnes on the market today; impressive vintage Blanc de Noirs and Blanc de Blancs; the acclaimed Cuvée 1522 vintage Brut and Rosé, made from the estate’s top Grand Cru vineyards; and finally the towering Clos des Goisses, one of the most famous and acclaimed wines in all of Champagne --  first single-vineyard ever bottled under its own name in Champagne!
