A graceful Champagne, with a chalky underpinning and lacy texture supporting ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit, star anise, apple blossom and salted almond notes. Lightly juicy and fresh through to the lingering finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged March 2023. Drink now through 2028. 13,000 cases made, 200 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator. (75% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Meunier; 9 g/l dosage ; disgorged in March, 2014): Pale orange. Fresh red berries, tangerine, sweet butter and candied rose on the highly perfumed nose. Silky and expansive, offering juicy red berry and floral pastille flavors supported by an undercurrent of chalky minerals. Sappy and sharply focused on the minerally, floral finish, which hangs on with excellent tenacity. - Josh Reynolds, Vinous Media. Darker in color than many rosés, this Champagne is also rich, with a tight texture that is balanced by zesty acidity and ripe red and citrus fruits. The wine is full-bodied, its concentration impressive. Drink now. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast. The newly released Nv Brut Rosé Royale Réserve is based on the 2018 vintage and was disgorged early this year. Bursting with aromas of red apple, freshly baked bread, mint and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand, with a generous core of fruit, a pillowy mousse and a chalky finish. Philipponnat opted to use less red still wine than usual in the blend, given the power and intensity of color evident in 2018. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate. Full bottle 1,635 g. 72% Pinot Noir, 26% Chardonnay, 2% Meunier, mostly from premier and grand cru vineyards in Aÿ, Mareuil and Avenay. 35 % reserve wines with 7–8% coming from red wine from the upper sections of the Clos des Goisses vineyard. Disgorged April 2021. Dosage 9 g/l. Rich nose – strawberries and cream, Eton mess. And all this in the mouth, filling the mouth, inside a framework of steel-ground stone dust. Rose petals and strawberry-juice-dipped nectarines. Almost dapper, the pink pressed starched-cotton pertness of the fruit – but it's seriously stylish too, underneath the coquettish squirl.
