Description
Philipponnat’s Royale Réserve Brut is one of the most traditional of non-vintage Champagnes. It’s a blend primarily of Pinot Noir grapes from the southern slopes of the fabled Montagne de Rheims – Champagne’s greatest vineyards – to which lesser amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier are added. Full, rich, and dry, Philipponnat’s Royale Réserve truly lives up to its reputation as a connoisseur’s Champagne. Royale Réserve is bright in color and redolent in aroma with the scents of apple, apricot, currant, freshly baked bread, nutmeg, and citrus zest. Moreover, it comes across as immediately gratifying. In the mouth, this delicately beaded Champagne caresses the palate as it continues to offer a wealth of creamy flavors and a textured, sophisticated feel before making a grand exit. Fresh, deep, and uncommonly persistent for non-vintage Champagne, the Philipponnat Royale Réserve Brut provides ideal drinking in the traditional style of grand Champagnes. We suggest serving this fine Champagne fairly well-chilled (38º – 40º F) and exercising caution when opening.
