    Producer

    Producer

    The Philipponnat family has been based in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ since 1910, but they have been cultivating vines there since the 16th century. This village, listed Premier Cru (but often considered a "Grand Cru de cœur"), is famous for its steep, south-facing slopes bordering the Marne canal. The Philipponnat Style: The house is one of the last to systematically use a solera of reserve wines in oak for its brut wines, but for its vintage wines like the 2014, it prioritizes the precision of the vintage combined with the vinous structure. The 2014 Vintage: A year of contrasts with a dry spring and a rainy summer, saved by a miraculous September. The result is wines with beautiful maturity and a "punchy" acidity that ensures excellent aging potential.
