Philipponnat - Champagne - Royale Réserve Non Dosé - White

Wine:

Crafted primarily from Pinot Noir and based on the 2020 harvest, the Royale Réserve Non Dosé Champagne showcases fine, persistent bubbles with an energetic finesse. The nose is irresistibly inviting, offering black grape aromas subtly enhanced by a touch of oak, adding layers of complexity. Chardonnay brings a refreshing clarity, perfectly balancing the wine’s profile. On the palate, it unfolds with a harmonious blend of richness and precision, delivering depth, texture, and exceptional balance. Despite its zero dosage, this cuvée retains remarkable structure and vinous character. Ideal as an aperitif—paired with salmon roe toasts or sea bream ceviche—it also shines at the table with sauced fish dishes or delicate white meats.
