Royale Reserve Rosé

The newly released NV Brut Rosé Royale Réserve is based on the 2018 vintage and was launched earlier this year. It smells of red apples, freshly baked bread, mint and flower petals, and is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand, with a generous core of fruit, a soft mousse and a chalky finish. Philipponnat chose to use fewer red still wines than usual for the blend, given the power and color intensity of the 2018 vintage.
