The production of Philipponnat's Royale Réserve Rosé champagne
Each bottle of Royale Réserve Rosé is the result of a meticulous blend that showcases the great terroirs of Champagne:
- 75% Pinot Noir: grown mainly in Mareuil-sur-Ay, it brings structure and depth.
- 20% Chardonnay: sourced from the best crus, it imparts freshness and finesse.
- 5% Pinot Meunier: grown in the Marne Valley, it adds a touch of fruitiness and a beautiful roundness.
The selected grapes come exclusively from the first pressing, ensuring pure and precise aromatic expression. Vinification follows a traditional approach, avoiding premature oxidation, and includes malolactic fermentation and partial aging in barrels to develop the wine's complexity.
This rosé champagne owes its color and aromatic intensity to the addition of 7 to 8% red wines from Pinot Noir grapes grown in Mareuil-sur-Ay and Les Riceys. This method ensures a bright color and a well-defined fruity character. Its moderate dosage (9 g/l) preserves the perfect balance between freshness and vinosity.
After blending, the cuvée undergoes extended aging for 3 to 4 years in the Philipponnat cellars, well beyond the appellation standards, giving it a silkier texture and incomparable aromatic richness.
The Royale Réserve Rosé vintage
This non-vintage champagne is based on a blend of several years to ensure consistency in style. Approximately 25 to 30% of reserve wines, aged in wood according to the perpetual reserve method, are added to bring complexity and a unique signature to this cuvée.
