The Champagne Royale Réserve Brut di Philipponnat originates from a blend of Pinot Noir (65%), Chardonnay (30%), and Pinot Meunier (5%) from selected Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. The winemaking process included, in addition to alcoholic fermentation, a partial malolactic fermentation. During the blending phase, a percentage of approximately 20-30% of reserve wines managed with the Solera method and aged in barrels was added. Following the principles of the Classic Method or Champenoise, the second fermentation responsible for sparkling took place in the bottle, where the wine rested in contact with the lees for 36 months before disgorgement. The residual sugar level is 8 grams per liter.

CHAMPAGNE ROYALE RESERVE BRUT PHILIPPONNAT: TASTING NOTES

The Champagne Royale Réserve Brut di Philipponnat presents itself with a straw-yellow color and golden reflections, enhanced by a delicate effervescence. On the nose, it releases aromas of blackcurrant, red currant, and raspberry, intertwined with hints of linden and citrus, along with notes of honey and brioche. The palate is fresh, velvety, and well-structured, supported by an elegant minerality that lingers in the long fruity and toasty finish. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs well with cheeses, vegetarian dishes, as well as flavorful seafood dishes featuring white fish, shellfish, and crustaceans.
