The Philipponnat family has owned and run its Champagne house in the heart of the wine-growing areas of Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Averney for over 500 years. A family of vignerons, winemakers and merchants since the 16th century, they famously supplied their wines to Louis XIV, the Sun King. The house’s 20 hectares of vines are Grand and Premier Cru, ensuring quality and intensity in the wines. Deep gold in colour with amber glints and a delicate, lively and lingering effervescence.
