Philipponnat Royale Réserve Rosé Half Bottle 375ml

What to expect- High quality producer using sustainable practices in the vineyard and winery- Based along the Marne Valley in famous Mareuil-sur-Aÿ near Billecart-Salmon- Pair with Cognac flambeed prawns (for fancy) or a Chicken Parma (for simple)The nose is vibrant, showing lots of red cherry, raspberry notes and patisserie. The palate is soft, round and supple with a creamy mousse and juicy, mouthwatering finish.It is certainly the norm for champagne houses to make a rosé champagne, but not many go to the lengths of Philipponnat when making theirs. Based on 2013 vintage this is mainly pinot noir at 75% with 20% chardonnay and 5% meunier. there is a small amount of red wine addition from both 'Les Riceys' (small town n the South of Champagne) and Mareuil-Sur-Aÿ.
