L'avis des experts

Decanter:

The new release of Philipponnat's NV Royale Réserve Non Dosé is also based on the 2014 vintage, with the addition of 29% reserve wines, and it was disgorged in November 2018 without dosage. Opening in the glass with aromas of crisp yellow apple, blanched almond, honeycomb and pear, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy but precise, with a bright spine of acidity but with the texture and depth to balance it. Naturally, it's a bit tighter-knit than the regular Royale Réserve and will benefit from a few years in the cellar.

Decanter:

Exactly the same wine as the Royale Réserve Brut but without any dosage. What a difference! While the brut tastes lightly cooked by the sugar, this shows purity of fruit and precision - the wine unadulterated.
