Philipponnat Royal Reserve None Dose NV.gif
 
Pure cuvée (first pressing) of Pinot Noir (always the major part of the blend, 65%), of Chardonnay (30%) and of Pinot Meunier (5%, always the smallest portion of the blend).

Appearance : Pale gold. Lively, small and speedy bubbles.

Nose: vine flowers, lime tree flowers.

Palate: Beautiful attack. Full mouth, nicely vinous, with elements of citrus fruits, warm bread.

The Royale Réserve Non Dosé is a subtle variation on the emblematic blend of the House of Philipponnat, combining crispness and vinosity.

Drawing on the historic tradition of Philipponnat in the region of Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay, Royale Réserve takes advantage of the rich and powerful Pinot Noir grapes from the southern side of the Montagne de Reims, which always makes up the majority of the blend.

By not adding any sugar once the first ageing process is completed, Philipponnat offers a leaner and crisper expression of its flagship Royale Réserve. This wine will delight minerality-minded drinkers and will be a great companion from aperitif to sea-food.

Along the banks of the River Marne and close to the Mareuil sur Aÿ Roman church, which is situated in the middle of its own vineyards, Champagne Philipponnat produces wines with an exceptional house style. The main courtyard opens onto a beautiful classic façade situated just behind a gate stamped with the family coat of arms. Here lies the heart of Philipponnat - its XVIIIth Century cellars where, shielded from the world, its wines slowly mature.
