Philipponnat

Champagne Rose

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 very fine, dense bubbles and aromas of summer berries, cherry and wild strawberry. Notes of citrus and grapefruit peel develop with time. The attack is elegant and pure. Full and ample on the palate, with good acidity and a light astringency that brings out the fruitiness.
