Philipponnat - Champagne Royale Réserve Brut

In the heart of Champagne, the Philipponnat family has woven their story seamlessly through time, undisturbed by the vicissitudes of history. Established in the picturesque village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1910 by Pierre and Auguste Philipponnat, the family's winemaking roots go back even further. Records show that the Philipponnats owned vineyards in Le Léon since 1522, an emblematic milestone in their storied journey. Over 16 generations, a tapestry of unparalleled winemaking craft, dedication to the Champagne country and an enduring passion for its wines has unfolded. Today, Champagne Philipponnat stands as a testimony to this deep-rooted bond with the terroir and its custodians.

Royale Reserve Brut, a masterful composition by Philipponnat, captures the essence of their signature style. Sourced mainly from the Pinot Noir-rich soils of Mareuil-sur-Ay, it offers a captivating dance between structure, persistence and vinosity. After careful three-year maturation on lees, the result is a Champagne that radiates maturity, but beautifully retains its vibrancy. This is a bottle designed for those introductory moments, the beginning of evenings, where the clinking of glasses sets the tone. Its rich, vinous character makes it a fantastic partner for white meat, cold cuts and fish.

Imagine enjoying the Royale Réserve Brut as an aperitif, a prelude to an exquisite meal. Let the delicate bubbles accompany puff pastry snacks, tempting hors d'oeuvres or a platter of artisanal meats. Picture it alongside seafood – perhaps a plate of grilled shrimp or steamed mussels. Or let the elegance of the wine elevate roasted poultry and other white meats. Whatever the occasion, this Champagne ensures that it is memorable. Celebrate, enjoy and let the heritage of the Philipponnat family grace your table.
