The Rosé Brut “Royale Réserve” is a Champagne that comes to life from the classic blend used to create French bubbles: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and a touch of Pinot Meunier. The grapes of these varieties grow within Grand and Premier Cru scattered throughout the territory of Mareuil-sur-Ay. Once harvested and taken to the Philipponnat vinification facilities, the grapes ferment partly in steel and partly in barrel, where they also undergo malolactic fermentation. A small percentage of the total mass incorporates a few reserved wines aged in wood using the solera method and Pinot Noir, to achieve a rosé with a delicate color.reserve wines aged in wood using the solera method and Pinot Noir, to obtain a rosé with a delicate color.
