Description
This champagne received the name Royale Reserve due to the cooperation with the Palace of the Grand Dukes in the history of the House of Philipponnat. The cuvée Royale Réserve Non-Dosé is a blend of classic Champagne grapes (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier) all coming from Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards located in Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay. The cuvée involves the use of approximately 20-30% reserve wines aged in wooden barrels. After the second fermentation, the wine rests on the lees for 3 years. After disgorging, no dosage is added to maintain the pure expression of the terroir as much as possible.
Tasting Notes :
This cuvée reveals the wine’s basic sensory qualities through its total absence of sugar and offers a subtle blend of aromatic precision (citrus notes, orange zest, vine blossom), minerality and notes of warm bread and fresh apple. A dazzling and genuine expression of the Philipponnat style.
