The Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dosée cuvée is distinguished by its fresh, slightly acidic and straightforward character. This brut nature champagne (non-dosé) is based on the same blend as the classic Royale Réserve, marrying the three Champagne grape varieties with a predominance of Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. This blend is enriched by 20 to 30% of reserve wines. This blend adds a touch of complexity and vinosity, with part of the wines aged in oak barrels. The total absence of dosage, and therefore of sugar, allows this cuvée to fully reveal its character and quality. The Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dosée has a pale gold color, dotted with fine, lively bubbles. On the nose, it is distinguished by its lightness and freshness, with elegant notes of white flowers. On the palate, we discover a straightforward and pure champagne, lively and airy, with citrus aromas. This cuvée, both complex and light, ends with a long and clear finish, marked by notes of Viennese pastry. This champagne is ideal for an aperitif or to accompany raw fish and seafood at a temperature of 8°C.
