Philipponnat 'Royale Reserve' - Rose Brut - Champagne

NV. This champagne is crafted from 75% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, and 5% Pinot Meunier. The Philipponnat family, with over 500 years of deep - rooted presence in the Champagne region, were once winegrowers and suppliers to King Louis XIV's court. Today, they own 20 hectares of prime vines in the heart of Champagne. Using the solera process, they store reserve wines in oak barrels and blend them into non - vintage batches. This wine ages on the lees for 3 years, much longer than the standard 15 months. You'll taste wild strawberries and cherries, followed by a zesty finish featuring grapefruit and other citrus flavors. It's a perfect match for smoked fish or summer berry desserts!

To enjoy this Philipponnat Rose Brut Champagne, first, keep it chilled in the fridge for a few hours. When you're ready to drink, hold the bottle at a 45 - degree angle and slowly twist the wire cage and remove the cork gently to avoid spills. Pour it into a champagne flute to savor its bubbles and aroma. Store any leftover champagne in the fridge and seal it with a champagne stopper. Remember, it's best consumed within a day or two after opening to keep its freshness. Don't shake the bottle before opening as it can cause excessive fizz. Enjoy this champagne at a relaxed pace to fully experience its unique flavors.
