On the palate, it stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003ebroad, fruity sip\u003c\/strong\u003e, with hints of currant and ripe grape, finishing with a fragrant note of biscuit and freshly baked bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is born in the heart of the Champagne region, from grapes sourced from the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003eGrand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e located near Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Production is based exclusively on the \u003cstrong\u003efirst pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e, in order to extract the purest part of the must and enhance the identity of the terroir. Philipponnat's approach highlights the area's pedoclimatic characteristics, ensuring a \u003cstrong\u003evibrant minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that is the unmistakable hallmark of these renowned lands, guaranteeing stylistic consistency over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification takes place in vats and \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e to prevent premature oxidation of the musts. To preserve the palate's tension, some of the wines do not undergo malolactic fermentation. The blending is based on a \u003cstrong\u003eperpetual method\u003c\/strong\u003e, similar to the solera system, in which the base is enriched with reserve wines aged in wood. This practice imparts depth and complexity while maintaining freshness. Finally, \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e in the cellar lasts for at least three years, stabilising the structure before the final Brut dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1522, Maison Philipponnat encapsulates centuries of tradition in this iconic Champagne.
