Royale Reserve Brut Nv Champagne

The purest expression of the Philipponnat style, perfect balance of intensity, freshness and minerality- the best kept secret in Champagne! Colour: Deep gold in colour with amber glints. Delicate froth, lively and lingering. Nose: The first nose reveals vine blossom, linden and fresh, lightly toasted bread.

After breathing, aromas of summer berries, citrus fruit and honey develop. Palate: Fine vinous attack on the palate, fruity (redcurrant, raspberry, ripe grape) and fullbodied, generous and long. Light notes of biscuit and freshly baked bread on the finish. Food pairing: As an aperitif, served chilled but not ice-cold (8C).

Enhances hot or cold white meats, poultry and premium charcuterie. An ideal complement to cold buffets, fish and seafood. Based in Mareuil sur Ay, in Montagne de Reims, Philipponnat holds a long history tracing back to 1522, and at some stage supplied the King of France Louis XIV. Their approach is based on their exceptional Terroir, enabling them great maturity to deliver flavourful, powerful and well-balanced Champagne.

The house is one of the most prestigious ones, ranked as #18 most admired brand by Drinks Business Magazine in 2019. To many, the house remains one of the best kept secret in Champagne! The name of Royal R*serve goes back to the ancestors of the Philipponnat family, vineyard owners, wine-merchants and winemakers, suppliers to Louis XIV, magistrates and Royal Mayors of Ay.

The essential characteristics of the Mareuil sur-Ay terroir, where mainly Pinot Noir grapes are grown, are predominant in this cuv*e. It offers a superb balance between structure, vinosity and a long finish. Bottle Size: 750ml Alc: 12,5%
