Description

History

The Philipponnat maison has been among the most famous in France since 1522. Its strategic position in Champagne allowed the winemaking techniques used today to be developed, such as the use of reserve wine. Today the company owns 20 hectares of vineyards, including the famous Clos de Goisses, known for its favorite champagne by Gianni Agnelli. Charles Philipponnat is the last family heir to lead the company.

Grapes used

Pinot Noir 65%

Chardonnay 30%

Pinot Meunier 5%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked).

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Intense straw yellow color with a golden hue. On the nose notes of thyme, wild herbs, ripe yellow fruit, with notes of honey and melted butter. In the mouth full-bodied but balanced, substantial, also supported by a certain acidity, minerality and final complexity.

Possible combinations

Champagne goes well with seafood, fish, soft cheeses, appetizers and delicate dishes, but also with Asian and fusion cuisine.
