Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Based on the 2019 vintage and disgorged in March 2023 with no dosage, the NV Royale Réserve Non Dosé reveals a fresh, lively bouquet with aromas of pear, lemon oil, spring flowers and orchard fruit. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and vinous, it’s delicate and elegant with a mouthwatering, penetrating finish. This is a blend of 65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier.

Description
Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dosé is a champagne that embodies the purity and precision of the great cuvées, standing out for its sugar-free production. Produced by the prestigious house of Philipponnat, founded in 1522 and located in the heart of the Champagne region, this wine reflects centuries of tradition and expertise in the production of high quality sparkling wines. The cuvée is composed of 65% Pinot Noir, the dominant variety in its blend and responsible for its structure and body, 30% Chardonnay, which brings freshness and elegance, and 5% Meunier, which adds fruity notes and roundness to the blend. The vineyards, located in the best terroirs of Champagne, include mainly Grand Cru and Premier Cru grapes, grown on chalky soils that contribute to the wine's minerality.
Winemaking
In terms of winemaking, the must used comes from the first press, ensuring the highest quality. A distinctive aspect of Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dosé is that 20% to 30% of the reserve wines are aged in oak barrels using the solera system, allowing older wines to be incorporated without losing freshness. Vinification follows traditional methods to avoid premature oxidation, with partial malolactic fermentation to provide roundness without sacrificing acidity. Unlike other champagnes, this one is bottled without dosage, i.e. without added sugar, allowing it to express itself in its purest form. The ageing process takes place in the house's underground cellars, where the wine remains on the lees for three years at a constant temperature of 12°C, far exceeding the legal minimum of 15 months.
Taste
On the palate, Philipponnat Royale Réserve Non Dosé is characterised by a vibrant and direct attack, with intense notes of citrus fruit such as orange peel, standing out for its freshness and vivacity without being aggressive. The wine displays a rich, rounded texture, with a lingering finish that leaves an impression of freshly baked bread and green apple, highlighting its characteristic minerality. This champagne is a true expression of the vinosity and aromatic precision that defines the Philipponnat house style, and its total absence of sugar allows for a more genuine and precise sensory experience.
