CHAMPAGNE: PHILIPPONAT (Brut Royale Reserve) is a wine composed mainly of Pinot Noir blended with Chardonnay and a small proportion of Pinot Meunier. It is the culmination of blending 25 different crus from diverse areas of the Champagne region and from several vintage years. The Brut Royale Réserve is a supple, fresh and fruity wine of great delicacy. Its quality is apparent in the extreme finesse and persistency of its bubbles. A champagne to be enjoyed at any time.
The House of Philipponnat is located at the very heart of the Champagne region, in the village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, 5 kilometers east of Epernay.
