Tasting notes
The Brut Royale Réserve is a supple, fresh, and delicately fruity Champagne, showcasing both finesse and vibrancy. The nose opens with inviting aromas of citrus, red fruits, and a touch of freshly baked bread from the fine lees. On the palate, it reveals crisp lime, red currants, and blackberries, all carried by a smooth texture and a well-structured, elegant finish. A beautifully balanced Champagne, perfect for both aperitif and refined pairings.

“The NV Brut Royale Réserve reveals an elegant, floral bouquet with notes of white flowers, spring flowers, ripe orchard fruit and lemon oil. Medium-bodied, ripe, textural and underpinned by a chalky extract, it’s fresh with a mouthwatering finish.” Yohann Castaing, The Wine Advocate
