Philipponnat Royale Reserve Brut NV Review
The Philopponnat family has a deep connection to winemaking, with a history in the business going back to 1522. Today, the 15th generation leader of the winery, Charles Philipponnat, continues the estate’s tradition of producing Pinot Noir-focused Champagnes — including this bottling made with 67 percent Pinot Noir. In the glass, the wine offers bright citrus notes, zippy acidity, and a flinty minerality.
