Philipponnat Royale Reserve

Along the banks of the River Marne and close to the Mareuil sur Aÿ Roman church, which is situated in the middle of its own vineyards, Champagne Philipponnat produces wines with an exceptional house style.
The main courtyard opens onto a beautiful classic façade situated just behind a gate stamped with the family coat of arms. Here lies the heart of Philipponnat - its XVIIIth Century cellars where, shielded from the world, its wines slowly mature.
The range of Philipponnat Champagnes are designed to be appreciated by a broad spectrum of wine lovers. From its flagship Brut Royale Réserve to the connoisseur's choice, Clos des Goisses, Philipponnat Champagnes are full-bodied, structured yet still fresh and distinctive due to the dominance of the Pinot Noir grape.
Still owned and run by the Philipponnat family, this prestigious Champagne producer has always reserved its Champagnes for true connoisseurs. The best wine merchants, Michelin-starred restaurants, sommeliers, chefs and private clubs are the natural ambassadors of the House. Thanks to their support, Philipponnat wines are enjoyed in more than 50 countries.

Drawing on the historic tradition of Philipponnat in the region of Ay and Mareuil-sur-Ay, Royale Réserve takes advantage of the rich and powerful Pinot Noir grapes from the southern side of the Montagne de Reims, which always makes up the majority of the blend.

With three years' ageing, Royale Réserve is quite sufficiently mature, yet remains crisp and therefore is a perfect aperitif. Its vinosity also makes excellent matches with white meat, cold cuts, poultry and fish.
