Champagne Philipponnat
Royale Réserve

The Champagne Royale Réserve is the result of blending 67% Chardonnay, 31% Pinot Noir and 2% Meunier grapes mainly sourced from the Grands and Premiers Crus located in the heart of the Champagne region. Harvest base 2019 with 34% vin de réserve preserved in wooden barrels according to the Solera method so as not to lose freshness. Final dosage of 8 g/l - making it a Brut - to maintain the balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity, without masking the wine's character and purity.

This cuvée offers the essential characteristics of the Mareuil-sur-Ay terroir, predominant in the blend where Pinot Noir clearly marks the taste. A fine balance between structure, length in the mouth and vinosity.

The Champagne Royale Réserve has an intense gold colour with amber reflections. The mousse is lively, fine and persistent. To the nose it smells of vine flower, lime and lightly toasted bread. After aeration, notes of red fruits, citrus fruits and honey also emerge. On the palate, the attack is vinous, fruity (currant, raspberry, ripe grapes) and structured, broad and long. The finish imparts a light note of biscuit and fragrant bread.

Champagne Philipponnat

In the heart of Premier and Grand Cru, the maison is proud of its own 20 hectares out of the most beautiful vineyards of Pinot Noir over the territory of Mareuil, Aÿ, Mutigny e Avenay, facing south and lying on pure chalk, as well as the old and renowed vines of Clos des Goisses and Lèon. Vinification follows the most natural methods and the fermentation temperatures are fresh, not too cold, so as to preserve the natural aromatic taste of the wine. The malolactic fermentation is brought the its end, except for the stongest wines, such as the Clos des Goisses. Dorages are on average particularly low, so sugar cannot disguise the balance between freshness and vinousity.
