The Champagne Pas Dosé Royale Réserve by Philipponnat represents, in the name of purity, the style of the historic Maison of Mareuil-sur-Ay, founded in 1522. The labels of the Royale Réserve line are inspired by the tradition of this ancient brand, which supplied wines to the royal house of France as far back as the time of Louis XIV. It is a Cuvée Prestige, made with a selection of high-quality grapes from vineyards classified as Premier or Grand Cru. The composition of the blend includes a majority percentage of Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay and a small balance of Meunier. It is an elegant and intense Champagne, which, thanks to a long aging on the lees and the use of reserve wines, offers a mature and complex bouquet, supported by the typical mineral freshness of a great terroir.
The Pas Dosé Royale Réserve is born in a Maison that has managed to preserve over the centuries the ancient artisanal savoir-faire of the art of Champagne. Philipponnat manages a splendid domaine of about twentyhectares, with vineyards cultivated in the municipal territories of the villages of Mareuil-sur-Ay, Ay, Mutigny, and Avenay. It is a cuvée with a classic face, made with the best Premier Cru and Grand Cru parcels of the Maison. The grapes from the individual vineyards are pressed very gently and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. After a few months of aging, the vins clairs of the vintage partially undergo malolactic fermentation and are blended with a percentage of 20-30% of reserve wines, aged in wooden barrels using the solera method, in order to give the Champagne greater maturity and expressive complexity. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Metodo Champenoise, with a sur lattes period of at least 36 months before disgorgement.
The Royale Réserve Pas Dosé is a Champagne dedicated to lovers of bottles with a pure and essential character, which allow one to appreciate the extraordinary quality and maturity of the grapes. It is the perfect label to enjoy as an aperitif, with seafood or to accompany appetizers or a dish of
