From the producer: 65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier. First press juice of mainly Grand and Premier Crus grapes from the heart of the Champagne wine growing area. 20 to 30% of reserve wines are aged in wooden barrels using the solera system to incorporate older wines without losing freshness.

Philipponnat is a champagne house that needs little introduction. Synonymous with Clos des Goisses, which is known for being Champagne's only great single vineyard site until Krug's Clos du Mesnil came along in 1979. Since Charles Philipponnat took the helm in 1999, he has been responsible for a philosophical rebirth of his family's legacy dating 600 years back. And now the winery's current portfolio is one of the finest in Champagne.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 92
"A moderately golden color is indicative of the relatively mature nose that reflects plenty of toasty yeast, brioche and white orchard fruit compote aromas. The delicious, complex and caressing flavors are supported by a medium fine mousse that is neither soft nor aggressive on the lightly citrus-infused and agreeably dry but not austere finish. This is a lovely NV Brut that offers notably better depth than is typical for the genre. Moreover, while it will certainly hold at this level for some years to come, it's already drinking quite well now."

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"(45% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier; 8 g/l dosage; disgorged in December, 2013): Light, bright gold. Expansive aromas of nectarine and ripe citrus fruits enlivened by chalky mineral, ginger and floral nuances. At once broad and nervy, offering enticing fresh citrus and orchard fruit flavors and deeper lees and honey qualities. This silky, nicely concentrated brut finishes with strong thrust and repeating floral character." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 92
"Disgorged in June 2020 with eight grams per liter dosage, the latest release of Philipponnat's NV Brut Royale Réserve is based on the 2016 vintage, with 27% reserve wines. Offering up aromas of peach, pear and plum mingled with apple blossom and sweet pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and expressive, with a pillowy mousse and a generous core of fruit, underpinned by bright acids." -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 91
"Firm and smoky, this tightly knit Champagne is dense and focused, showing a subtle mix of patisserie apple, toast, plum compote and mandarin orange peel flavors. This should open with some short-term cellaring. Disgorged November 2015."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 92
"A dry style, this classic nonvintage from Philipponnat is showing well, with greater depth than in the past. The wine has maturity, with toast, almonds and cookies, but retaining the acidity to give a wine that is mouthfilling and also refreshing."
