Philipponnat is a champagne house that needs little introduction. Synonymous with Clos des Goisses, which is known for being Champagne's only great single vineyard site until Krug's Clos du Mesnil came along in 1979. Since Charles Philipponnat took the helm in 1999, he has been responsible for a philosophical rebirth of his family's legacy dating 600 years back. And now the winery's current portfolio is one of the finest in Champagne.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2016 Extra-Brut Grand Blanc is a very pretty, vibrant Champagne. Brisk and energetic, the 2016 sizzles with tension. Crushed rocks, lemon peel, graphite and white pepper all race across the palate. The blend of sites in Trépail, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Vertus and Grauves works quite well. This is a fine edition of the Grand Blanc and a shining example of just how compelling the 2016s can be." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 93
"Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay planted in the communes of Grauves, Chouilly, Trépail, Oger and Vertus, Philipponnat's 2016 Extra-Brut Grand Blanc evokes aromas of brioche, walnuts, pastry, lemon, citrus and spices. Medium to full-bodied, round and layered, it's gourmand and textured with a pinpoint mousse and a long, delicate finish. Disgorged with 4.5 grams per liter dosage in June 2023, it has partly undergone malolactic fermentation." -Yohan Castaing

Wine Spectator

WS 94
"A classy version, showing precision balance to the integration of ripe black currant, apricot, golden raisin, slivered almond, toast and smoke notes with a fresh, firm frame of acidity and chalky minerality. There's a lovely viscosity to the creamy mousse, a textural echo on the lasting finish." -Alison Napjus

Wine Enthusiast

WE 93
"This Champagne, from 100% Chardonnay, is crisp and taut. With its citrus aroma, acidity, minerality and white fruits this is a beautifully textured wine. It is balanced and ready to drink now." -Roger Voss
