Champagne Philipponnat - Royale Réserve Non Dosé

Key words: Purity / Minerality / Fruity

The wine: With its majority of Pinot noir complemented by Chardonnay and a hint of Pinot Meunier, the cuvée Royale Réserve Non dosé from Philipponnat is built on the same base as the delicious Royale Réserve Brut champagne, the house's flagship. The difference here lies in the absence of dosage (zero added sugar) giving this sparkling a very pure, mineral and elegant aroma. notes of citrus fruits, green apple and pear evoke a pretty, distinguished fruitiness and magnify the whole, supported by a still very delicate bubble. A superb bottle, ideal as an aperitif, with seafood, shellfish and fish!

The Estate: For more than 5 centuries now (1522), Philipponnat showcases 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 impressive qualitative progress of the brand. Composed of 20 hectares, the vast majority of which are Pinot Noir, the house's vineyard is exclusively spread over Premier Cru and Grand Cru villages. The estate's finest grapes undoubtedly come from the famous Clos des Goisses, a unique and very qualitative plot of 5.5 hectares with a southern exposure that the family has been running for over 100 years now. The style of the house 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 an aromatic richness that delight connoisseurs.
