From the vine to the back label, Philipponnat shares its expertise with full transparency
A clear, shared vision. At Philipponnat, transparency is not just a promise, it’s a whole philosophy. At every stage of creation, the House says what it does and does what it says. And shares its knowledge with all those who love its Champagnes.
The proof is in the fact that, no matter how far back one looks in the House’s archives, the back labels of every one of its Champagnes provide numerous details about their production, much more than the indications required by law. Percentages of grape varieties in the blend, proportion of Premier and Grand Crus, how much reserve wine was used, the base harvest year, but also the share of wines aged in oak, the dates of disgorgement, dosage, even tirage… you might even be surprised to see so much information all compiled on a space as small as a back label!
And yet… Philipponnat has always opted for this transparency, thus responding to the curiosity of the most experienced tasters as well as the most novice. An approach that requires precision and confidence, to communicate with humility and sincerity at each stage of production, a vision that has always been integrated into the House’s daily operations, and recognised by amateurs and professionals alike. To continually prepare for the future of the House, for the progression of its tireless quest for betterment, excellence and progress.
