Champagne Philipponnat - Royale Réserve Brut - Magnum

Key words:  Character / Balance / Aromatic richness

The wine: Here is the large format from the superb vintage Royale Réserve Brut ! The Philipponnat house certainly produces here one of the very best non-vintage Brut champagnes of the great houses in the region. Composed of a majority of Pinot noir giving a deep character to the whole, this beautiful champagne evolves on a precise, graceful, slightly vinous aromatic and revealing notes of toasted bread, citrus fruits, peach, honey as well as a gourmet touch of brioche. An elegant mineral framework underlines the whole and the bubbles express great finesse. A remarkable champagne in Magnum format and which will therefore offer you twice as much pleasure to share!

The estate: For more than 5 centuries now (1522), Philipponnat highlights the great terroirs of the villages of Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay and Avenay, all located south of the Montagne de Reims. Since 2000, Charles Philipponnat has been at the head of this beautiful Champagne house and it is largely thanks to his initiative that we owe the brand's impressive qualitative progression. Made up of 20 hectares, a large majority of which is Pinot noir, the house's vineyard is exclusively spread over Premier Cru and Grand Cru villages. The finest grapes from the estate undoubtedly come from the famous Clos des Goisses, a unique and very qualitative plot of 5.5 hectares with a south-facing exposure that the family has been operating for over 100 years now. The style of the house's wines could be summed up in 3 words: richness, complexity and precision. The use of 25 to 35% of reserve wines kept in barrels gives the cuvées produced a remarkable taste intensity as well as aromatic richness which delight wine lovers.
