Philipponnat's Champagne Royale Réserve Brut derives from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grapes, coming from the most beautiful Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in the center of Champagne, with a strong prevalence of Pinot Noir from the Mareuil-sur-Aÿ territory mostly characterizes.
This cuvée, obtained exclusively from the first pressing, is completed with 25-35% of reserve wines which age exceptionally in wooden barrels and are managed with the Solera method, enriching themselves in complexity. The aging, which takes place entirely in the fresh cellars of the Maison, lasts for 3 years on its own lees, much more than the 15 months required by the disciplinary of champagne.
Intense golden in color, with a lively foam and a fine and persistent perlage, it opens to the nose with hints of vine and linden flowers, supported at a later time by a light aroma of toasted bread which is enriched at the opening of fruity aromas and honey. In the mouth it is vinous and structured, with hints of black currant, raspberry and ripe grapes, which anticipate a broad and fragrant finish, characterized by a light biscuit note.
Ideal to serve fresh as an aperitif, it elegantly enhances white meats, cold cuts and fish dishes.
