(Wine Advocate Score 92+) Based on the 2015 vintage, complemented by some 35% solera-aged reserve wines, the latest rendition of Philipponnat's NV Brut Royale Réserve was disgorged in September 2019 with eight grams per liter dosage. Offering up a lovely bouquet of golden orchard fruit, fresh peach, blanched almonds and honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with a generous core of fruit, chalky structuring extract, and an elegant pinpoint mousse. While this Royale Réserve is already quite demonstrative, it will be even better with some bottle age.

The blend

65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier. First press juice of mainly Grand and Premier Crus grapes from the heart of the Champagne wine-growing area. 20 to 30% of reserve wines are aged in wooden barrels using the solera system to incorporate older wines without losing freshness.

Vinification

Vinified using traditional methods to avoid premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation and reserve wines aged in casks to allow the aromas to develop complexity. Moderate dosage (8 g/litre) to maintain a balance between freshness, fruitiness and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.

Aging

Aged on the lees in the House’s cellars at a constant temperature of 12°C for three years, far longer than the legal minimum requirement of 15 months.
