Description

The Royale Réserve cuvée is a refined and structured champagne that reveals all the elegance and complexity of Philipponnat's expertise.

The production of Philipponnat's Royale Réserve Brut champagne

Royale Réserve is a faithful reflection of the terroir and the Philipponnat style. Its blend features 65% Pinot Noir, accompanied by 30% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier. Only the first pressing of the grapes are selected, mainly from Grands and Premiers Crus vineyards located in the heart of Champagne.

Between 20 and 30% of reserve wines are added to this blend, managed using the solera method and aged in wood. This technique adds complexity and depth while preserving the wine's freshness.

Vinification follows a traditional approach, avoiding any premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation is carried out, while the reserve wines are aged in barrels, which enriches their aromatic palette. With a Brut dosage of 8 g/L, the balance between freshness, fruitiness, and vinosity is perfectly controlled.

The cuvée is then aged for three years on lees in the Philipponnat cellars to develop its aromatic complexity.

A non-vintage cuvée

Royale Réserve Brut is not a vintage champagne, as it is the result of a blend of several years, guaranteeing continuity of style and quality. The contribution of reserve wines managed using the solera method gives it unique depth, while each new harvest brings its own freshness and dynamism.
