Philipponnat - Champagne - Royale Réserve Non Dosé - White

Wine:

Predominantly made from Pinot Noir, from the 2020 harvest, the Royale Réserve Non Dosé Champagne features fine and regular bubbles and vibrant energy. The nose is very alluring, suggesting flavors of black grapes with a slight woody nuance that adds complexity to the whole. It's pleasantly refreshed by the presence of Chardonnay, in a beautiful purity. The palate follows this nuanced and flavorful path, with fleshiness and fullness and especially great balance and real complexity. The absence of dosage doesn't at all mask the structure or the wine-like quality of this cuvée, which will be ideal as an aperitif, with salmon egg toasts or sea bream ceviche, and of course at the table with fish or white meats in sauce.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested. Blended from the 2020 harvest with 39% reserve wines aged in wood. Bottled in May 2021. Aged on lees in cellars for approximately 3 years. Disgorgement March 2024.

Zero dosage.

Color:

Bright golden yellow with fine, regular and abundant bubbles.

Nose:

Flavors of black grapes with a slight oaky relief that complicates the overall impression. The wine is refreshed by the presence of chardonnay.

Palate:

Pure and fresh, this Champagne is full-bodied, ripe and well-balanced. The absence of dosage does not overshadow the body and vinosity of this cuvée as a whole.

Temperature:

Serve between 8 and 10°C.

Food and wine pairing:

As an aperitif, on toast with cream and salmon roe, with sea bream ceviche, and of course at the table with fish or white meats in sauce.

From now until 2026
