Grapes: 65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier

Philipponnat has quickly become a firm favorite, a real little-known gem. Amazing as an aperitif, but its complex bready/brioche notes mean it’s a wonderful wine to accompany food, enhancing hot or cold white meats, poultry and premium charcuterie. The wine contains first press juice of mainly Grand and Premier Crus grapes from the heart of the Champagne wine-growing area of which 20% - 30% is aged in wooden barrels using the solera system to incorporate older wines without losing freshness, giving an incredible complexity that we love.
