Champagne Philipponnat Royale Réserve Brut NV

Champagne, FranceBased on the 2011 vintage with 30 percent reserve wine, this 65/30/5 pinot noir/chardonnay/pinot meunier blend is sourced mostly from premier and grand cru vineyards. Elegant and refined, with light biscuit, lemon pith and cracked stone savouriness. The focussed palate carries green apple, an undercurrent of subtle red fruits, yellow plum, gentle dried apricot and fine salt through to a lengthy, lingering, honeyed finish. Refined, stately and elegant - befitting its royale name. Drink now or hold for 5+ years.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
