Champagne Philizot et Fils: Chic depuis 2002
Champagne Philizot et Fils is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Reuil in the Vallée de la Marne. Founded in 2002 by Stéphane and Virginie Philizot. Virginie runs the maison today and has already involved the next generation in the work. The estate is located at 30 Grande rue, right in the heart of the Marne Valley.
The maison carries the slogan "Chic depuis 2002," a commitment to approachable champagne that doesn't need to wait for special occasions. In 2026, the Brut N°3 won three gold medals: at the Vinalies France, the Berlin Wine Trophy, and the Sakura Japan Women's Wine Awards.
Viticulture & Sustainability
Philizot et Fils works according to the principles of Viticulture raisonnée and sources grapes from partners who share these values. The focus is on reducing pesticides, protecting biodiversity, and optimizing water consumption. The maison also emphasizes eco-design in packaging and aims to reduce the carbon footprint in shipping.
Vinification
The maison's philosophy is centered on freshness, balance, and accessibility. The dosage varies by cuvée between Extra Brut and Demi-Sec (up to 50 g/l). The Brut N°3 sits at around 8 g/l. Philizot et Fils deliberately focuses on champagnes that bring joy even in everyday life, without occasion, without ceremony.
