The Royale Réserve Brut cuvée from Maison Philipponnat is a brut champagne that harmoniously combines indulgence, freshness and vinosity. This cuvée is the result of a complex blend of 65% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay. Then, the addition of a good proportion of reserve wines (between 20 and 40%) to the blend gives this cuvée great complexity and freshness. Moreover, some of the wines are aged in oak barrels, thus adding a touch of complexity and vinosity. This champagne is distinguished by its golden color with amber highlights. On the nose, the Royale Réserve Philipponnat cuvée first reveals notes of white flowers, which then evolve towards more complex aromas of citrus fruits, brioche and honey. On the palate, this cuvée begins with a fresh and lively attack, then reveals its fruity aromas. It is well structured, with an elegant vinosity and a full texture. The finish is superb, marked by a gourmet and biscuity touch. Served at a temperature of 8°C, this champagne is ideal for an aperitif or to enhance white meats, poultry and fine cold or hot charcuterie.
