Brand Story:
Philipponnat is a historic French Champagne house owned by the family of the same name, whose wine history in the region dates back to 16th Century when the family's work as negotiators and merchants supplied wine to the court of Louis XIV. Although the family can trace its Champagne roots back to 1522, the modern house was founded in 1910 by Pierre Philipponnat, and is now run by Charles Philipponnat. It is a small but highly respected Champagne house, producing only about 650,000 bottles of Champagne, from the Brut Royale Reserve, the true ambassador of the House, to its famous single-plot-vineyard Champagne: Clos des Goisses.

Grape Varietal: 69% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier

Tasting Notes: Spicy red berry fruit aromas, some flinty reduction and savoury, toasty autolysis notes. Palate's crisp, playful and carries plenty of sweet, ripe red fruit flavour.
