Sarl Couvreur Philippart et fils : Passion for Champagne

Couvreur Philippart is a brand of champagne created by Élisabeth and Jacques Couvreur in 1974. They came from a long line of winegrowers. Their son Emmanuel took over in 1990, and was joined in 2000 by his wife Christelle.

Couvreur Philippart 8.5 hectares family estate covers clay and limestone soils. It is located in the heart of the Montagne de Reims, in the Premier Cru villages of Chigny Les Roses, Écueil, Ludes, and Rilly La Montagne, and in Grand Cru in Verzy and Nogent l’Abbesse.

They cultivate the three main Champagne grape varieties, Chardonnay (28%), Pinot noir (27%) and Pinot meunier (45%). They are in the process of obtaining High Environmental Value (HVE) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) certification.

Couvreur Philippart champagnes have as common denominator an abundant cloud of fragrant bubbles which transform into a persistent bead which plays with our tongue and our palate in a very sensual way.

The Couvreurs have the passion for their profession and the quality of their champagnes at heart. Very recently, Sarl Couvreur Philippart et fils has been recognized and awarded 2 Gold Medal and a Silver Medal by Business News Japan Awards 2020:

Question 1: Do you already export to JAPAN ? If yes, where ? If no, what type of importers & distributors are you looking for in JAPAN ?

We are new in export, I participate in 2019 in two master classes in Japan, one in Osaka and the other in Tokyo.

Question 2: What is the most unique and qualitative part of your products, different from competitors ?

Our champagne has existed for more than three generations. We are independent winemakers, certified HVE ( High environmental value). We cultivate our own vines with respect for biodiversity, water and air. We pick our grapes and make our wine. Our work is above all a passion.

Our champagne is simply in our image, frank, generous and balanced.

Question 3: When did you start to export your brand worldwide, and what is your development plan for the next years ?

We sell our champagne mainly in France and Europe. Last year, during my two tastings in Japan, I was seduced by your country and its inhabitants.

I will be happy to participate in the happiness of the Japanese.
