Product Description
Royale Réserve Non Dosé expresses the quality of the House’s non-vintage blends without artifice. The total absence of sugar in this cuvée reveals all the qualities which are characteristic of this wine and offers a subtle combination of aromatic precision (citrus notes, orange zest), minerality and vinosity. This is a wonderfully fresh aperitif wine which is also a perfect match for raw fish and seafood and enhances Japanese cuisine.

Product details
The Blend
65% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 5% Pinot Meunier. First press juice of mainly Grand and Premier Crus grapes from the heart of the Champagne wine-growing area. 20% to 30% of reserve wines are aged in wooden barrels using the solera system to incorporate older wines without losing freshness.
Vinification
Vinified using traditional methods to avoid premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation and reserve wines aged in casks to allow the aromas to develop complexity. Undosed (0 g/litre) to reveal the wine's full character and purity.
Aging
Aged on the lees in the House’s cellars at a constant temperature of 12°C for three years, far longer than the legal minimum requirement of 15 months.
