This sparkling wine is distinguished by its attractive salmon pink colour with delicate copper reflections that capture the light in a captivating way. Its foam is fine, creamy and remarkably persistent, enhancing its elegant character. On the nose, aromas of forest fruits initially emerge, with nuances of cherry and wild strawberry. As it opens up, subtle citrus notes and a refreshing touch of grapefruit peel appear. On the palate, it offers a refined and pure attack, displaying a full and enveloping texture. Its well-balanced acidity, combined with a slight astringency, brings liveliness and accentuates its fruity profile, creating a harmonious and fresh experience.
Philipponnat Royale Réserve Rose Brut is a unique Champagne, produced in the prestigious AOC Champagne region of France. Produced by the historic Philipponnat house, whose winemaking tradition dates back to the 16th century, this sparkling wine reflects the mastery and legacy of a family that supplied wines to the court of Louis XIV.
This elegant rosé is made from 75% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier, using first-press must from grapes selected primarily from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards. To enrich the blend, 25% to 30% of the reserve wines are aged in barrels using a solera system, allowing the incorporation of aged wines without sacrificing freshness.
Vinification follows traditional methods that minimise premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation and ageing of a portion of the wines in wooden barrels add remarkable aromatic complexity. To achieve its delicate pink colour and distinctive fruity profile, 7% to 8% of still red wine made from Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Ay and Riceys, obtained by maceration, is added. The moderate dosage of 9 g/litre ensures a perfect balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity, highlighting the purity of the wine. Extended ageing for three years on lees, at a constant temperature of 12°C in the house cellars, far exceeds the legal minimum of 15 months, enhancing its complexity and richness.
If you are looking to purchase a wine that combines tradition, freshness and a sophisticated rosé character, the Philipponnat Royale Réserve Rose Brut is the perfect choice to enhance your special moments.
