Philipponnat "Royale Réserve” Brut NV
Champagne, France
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Champagnes of Philipponnat are sought out by discerning drinkers, and have been for decades. The bottling we bring you today is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay and 3% Meunier, bottled in 2020 and disgorged over three years later, in January of 2024.
Leesy and generous, with a striking stream of precise, fine bubbles, this elegant wine gives aromas of baked orchard fruits with hints of lemon cookie, almond butter, biscuit crumbles, honey and white raspberry.
Finished with a dosage of 8 g/L, it is an absolutely delicious Champagne, featuring a creamy freshness and a lovely bubbly tingle with a long, taut finish that lingers for minutes. What a decadent treat!
“Chiseled acidity is swathed in a fine, satiny mousse in this elegant Champagne, forming a vibrant springboard for flavors of ripe black currant, dried white cherry, lemon-infused pastry cream, Marcona almond and crystallized honey. Long and chalky on the refreshing finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged January 2024. Drink now through 2029. 10,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.”
