Vinification of the Royale Réserve Non Dosé in GP from Champagne Philipponnat

The grapes for the Royale Réserve Non Dosé in GP from Champagne Philipponnat come from strict selections of the Grand Cru sites of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. The focus is on the grape varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which thrive ideally on barren chalk soils and shape the characteristic mineral core of this champagne. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand to bring the grapes intact and fresh into the winery. This is followed by gentle pressing, where only the first, finest juice – the so-called “Cuvée” – is used for further maturation.

The vinification is carried out with utmost precision in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the original freshness and fruit. After the first alcoholic fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels or neutral containers, depending on site and grape variety, to develop an elegant structure. The assemblage is carefully composed, with the wine bottled completely without dosage – thus the Royale Réserve Non Dosé in GP from Champagne Philipponnat reflects the pure essence of the terroir.

Subsequently, the champagne matures for at least 36 months on the yeast, which develops the complex bouquet and fine creaminess. The traditional bottle fermentation according to the Méthode Champenoise guarantees a particularly elegant mousseux as well as characteristic freshness and liveliness.
