Champagne Philipponnat Royale Réserve Brut is a revered sparkling wine from France with considerable depth and complexity. Crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, this champagne exhibits an enticing golden straw hue. The nose is beautifully aromatic with compelling notes of ripe apples and honey, complemented by nuances of toasted brioche and almonds. The palate experiences an enchanting effervescence and a delightful harmony of flavours including peaches, citrus, and subtle hints of spice. With its splendidly balanced acidity and prolonged finish, it presents a truly decadent drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

Deep gold in colour with amber glints. Delicate froth, lively and lingering. The first nose reveals vine blossom, linden and fresh, lightly toasted bread. After breathing, aromas of summer berries, citrus fruit and honey develop. Fine vinous attack on the palate, fruity (redcurrant, raspberry, ripe grape) and fullbodied, generous and long. Light notes of biscuit and freshly baked bread on the finish.
