Champagne Philipponnat Royal Reserve Rose

The intensity, freshness and elegance of rosé Champagne in keeping with the Philipponnat style

Description

The red Champagne wine used to make the Cuvée Royale Réserve Rosé is made from grapes grown in Mareuil-sur-Ay, one of the Philipponnat family’s historic vineyards. The still red wine and the rosé de saignée of Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Ay and Riceys are obtained by maceration and incorporated at a rate of 7 to 8%. This cuvée is characterised by its fine bouquet where the fruity notes reveal themselves to be complex. On the palate, the attack is precise and the fruit notes highlight the spicy touches.

Salmon pink in colour with coppery glints. Delicate, creamy and lingering froth.

Nose

 :

The first nose reveals summer berries with notes of cherry and wild strawberry.
Notes of citrus and grapefruit peel develop with time.

Taste

 :

The attack is elegant and pure. Full and ample on the palate, with good acidity and
a light astringency that brings out the fruitiness.

Food Pairing

 :

As an aperitif, served chilled but not ice-cold (9°C). Enhances smoked fish and
meats (ham, bacon) or pink meat (veal, lamb). An ideal complement to summer
berry desserts, either served plain or as a soup.
