Philipponat are one of the oldest houses in Champagne (since 1522) and their Raison d'etre is 'wine not bubbles'. Their wines are found in most of the top restaurants worldwide and with specialist retailers - and definitely not Supermarkets!
Their Champagne Royale Réserve Brut (65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay & 5% Petit Meunier)
is deep gold in colour with amber glints. It offers a delicate froth that is lively and lingering. It is fruity, full-bodied, generous and long with light notes of biscuit and freshly baked bread on the finish.

This latest rendition of Philipponnat's NV Brut Royale Réserve delivers aromas of crisp pear, stone fruits and fresh bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping palate. Charming and pillowy, it's a giving wine that shows well.
