The production of Royale Réserve Non Dosé Philipponnat

Royale Réserve Non Dosé is a blend that showcases the great terroirs of Champagne:

• 65% Pinot Noir: mainly from Mareuil-sur-Ay, it brings power, structure and a beautiful vinosity.
• 30% Chardonnay: sourced from the best vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, it brings finesse, tension and elegant freshness.
• 5% Pinot Meunier: grown in the Marne Valley, it rounds out the blend and adds an extra touch of fruitiness.

Only the first pressing is used, guaranteeing a raw material of great purity. Vinification is carried out with rigor to avoid premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation is carried out to preserve freshness while gaining suppleness. The reserve wines, which account for 20 to 30% of the blend, are aged in oak barrels and blended using the perpetual reserve method. This technique confers a unique aromatic complexity, enriching the cuvée without altering its liveliness.

After blending, the wine is aged on its lees for three years, well above the legal minimum, to refine its texture and develop its aromas. Unlike traditional champagnes, this Royale Réserve Non Dosé receives no added sugar during disgorging, thus preserving all its authenticity and natural expression.

The vintage of Royale Réserve Non Dosé

This cuvée is non-vintage, which means that it is a blend of several years to ensure continuity in the style and quality of the champagne. Philipponnat carefully selects reserve wines, representing 20 to 30% of the blend, to add complexity and ensure aromatic consistency from vintage to vintage. This choice allows the characteristics of the terroir to be expressed to the fullest and offers a champagne that is always balanced, between freshness and vinosity.
