The Champagne house was officially established in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in 1910 and remains family-led under Charles Philipponnat’s stewardship. Known for its commitment to terroir and tradition, Philipponnat distinguishes itself through methods such as solera-aged reserve wine integration, oak vinification, and printing disgorgement dates—all contributing to structured, elegant, and consistently expressive non‑vintage cuvées\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCharles Philipponnat leads the winemaking team with a focus on maintaining precision and expression across vintages. The production of Royale Réserve involves blending first-press juice with 20–30% reserve wines aged via the solera system. Fermentations occur in both oak and stainless steel, with partial malolactic fermentation, lees aging, and low dosage creating depth, richness, and consistent house style\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe grapes come from a mosaic of Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Avenay, and Mutigny.

Conventional fermentation uses a mix of oak and stainless steel vessels. Partial malolactic fermentation is applied. Lees aging lasts for about three years, and the wine is finished with a moderate dosage of around 8 g\/L to balance freshness and complexity\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eDeep gold in color with amber glints.
