Philipponnat’s Blanc de Noirs cuvée is produced with 100% Pinot Noir grown on the Premiers and Grands Crus of Mareuil-sur-Al and the Montagne de Reims. It is vinified using the traditional champagne method, with half of the cuvée matured in stainless-steel vats to retain freshness. On the nose, this champagne delivers an intense compexity, with spiced, peppery aromas melding with notes of honey and acacia. The palate delivers fruity aromas from the Pinot Noir as well as a great minerality.

About the Producer Champagne Philipponnat
Maison Philipponnat traces its roots back to the 16th century, when Apvril Philipponnat was awarded land in Aÿ for fighting in François I’s army at the Battle of Marignan. From that point on, the House developed, and its Champagnes found their way to the tables of princes and even King Louis XIV. Maison Philipponnat as such was founded in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1910, in the former 18th-century cellars of the Château de Mareuil.
Today, the vines spread over 20 hectares in Aÿ, Avenay-Val-d’Or, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Mutigny, and the House sources additional grapes from selected demanding winegrowers. The House joined the Boizel Chanoine Champagne group in 1997, but the Philipponnat family is still very much present, alongside Charles Philipponnat and today his son François.
In the vineyard, viticultural methods are as natural and respectful of the terroir as possible. And in the winery, one of the unique techniques used is to preserve reserve wines in solera in oak casks. A medium-sized house producing top end, truly recommended Champagnes.
