Royale Réserve Non Dosé 67% Pinot Noir, 31% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier. Harvest: 2019 Dégorgement: 2024 Cuvée: 255 First pressing of the grapes in the heart of Champagne, mainly from Grands and Premiers Crus. 20 to 30% of reserve wines managed in solera and aged in wood to incorporate old wines without losing any freshness. Traditional winemaking that avoids premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation and aging of reserve wines in barrels, allowing the aromas to gain greater complexity. No dosage (0 g/l) to not mask the character of the wine and its purity. Aging on the lees in the Maison's cellars, at a constant temperature of 12°C for three years, much longer than the legal minimum of fifteen months. Pale gold color. Fine and persistent foam. Nose of linden flower, vine flower, and hawthorn. On the palate, a direct and pure attack, with citrus notes and a nice liveliness without aggression. Long and clear finish with notes of warm bread and fresh apple. At the table, for a lively aperitif, served fresh but not iced (8°C). To enhance raw fish and seafood. To elevate Japanese cuisine. Royale Réserve Non Dosé expresses all its liveliness in the 6-8 months following disgorgement. A wine that also lends itself to aging for several years.
