Notes

Philipponnat’s Royale Réserve bottlings offer up the signature Philipponnat traits of power and vibrancy – the perfect introduction to the house style. Both Brut and Non Dosé cuvées are a blend of 65% Pinot Noir and 35% Chardonnay with up to a third of the blend made up of ‘perpetual reserve’ wines, the subject of much recent innovation at Philipponnat. The Non Dosé is one of the best we’ve come across, wonderfully defined flavours on the nose, clear and lively, with tension, verve and crisply set, steely fruit flavours. Pleasingly there’s no austerity here, just an extra sense of cut and clarity over the Brut. Exceptionally refreshing. A wine of wonderful purity. Dosage 0 grams. Base vintage 2012.

Notes

The NV Royale Réserve Non Dosé (base 2018) is a powerful Champagne. A host of mineral and savory nuances emerge first, while the fruit remains more in the background. Dried flowers, sage, mint, dried pear and a kick of spice infuse the Non Dosé with notable character and complexity. This is an especially fine edition of the Non Dosé. The blend is 69% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay and 3% Meunier. Disgorged: December 2022.
