Lot presentation
Royale Réserve Brut Philipponnat
The wine
A perfect expression of the Maison’s style, this Champagne is balanced and structured with a long finish. It expresses the beauty of its terroir as well as the finesse of the Pinot Noir. Aged for three years on lees, this Champagne is delicately mature all whilst retaining a certain freshness that can be enjoyed as an aperitif. It will also pair nicely with white meat or fish.
About the Producer Champagne Philipponnat
Maison Philipponnat traces its roots back to the 16th century, when Apvril Philipponnat was awarded land in Aÿ for fighting in François I’s army at the Battle of Marignan. From that point on, the House developed, and its Champagnes found their way to the tables of princes and even King Louis XIV. Maison Philipponnat as such was founded in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1910, in the former 18th-century cellars of the Château de Mareuil.
Today, the vines spread over 20 hectares in Aÿ, Avenay-Val-d’Or, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Mutigny, and the House sources additional grapes from selected demanding winegrowers. The House joined the Boizel Chanoine Champagne group in 1997, but the Philipponnat family is still very much present, alongside Charles Philipponnat and today his son François.
In the vineyard, viticultural methods are as natural and respectful of the terroir as possible. And in the winery, one of the unique techniques used is to preserve reserve wines in solera in oak casks. A medium-sized house producing top end, truly recommended Champagnes.
