This shows lovely freshness married to the weight that comes from the Pinot, in an engaging, highly pleasing style. This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from Ellner. The Cuvee de Reserve is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir - Dosage was 10 grams per liter."

NV Philipponnat Champagne "Royale Reserve Brut" Champagne, France
$72.00
$54.00
An intense, concentrated, and ripe Champagne wine that delivers tons of layers and tactile sensations. It’s fresh, zesty, and citrusy making it approachable and easy to enjoy. But there’s an absolute perceptible depth and a great complexity from carefully-grown ripe fruit and skillful winemaking.
Bright shiny lemon color, with a slight mat grey/pink tone to it.
The nose is very intense and inviting, fresh and zesty. It’s dominated by aromas of lemon, the juice and the peel, and grapefruit. It really smells like a fresh and complex citrus fruit.
Add to the fruit aromas some delicate spicy and nutty notes on the background: subtle sweet spices sweet spices and hazelnut. The whole feels powerful, warmly inviting yet refined.
There’s a feeling of heat, and sun coming out of the wine discretely in the shade of all other scents, that is rather unusual but comforting: hot candle, hot leather car seats on a sunny day.
The palate is quite dry, but rich with intense flavors, with an almost viscous texture. It fills your palate with affirmed sensations. Plenty of spices, and fragrant almost exuberant citrus flavors bring sun to your senses.
Fine delicate bubbles lighten the experience, driving tension and providing minerality.
Very long finish on nutty and leesy/yeasty notes.

A Little History -If you believe the local history scholars and the excavator of old legends, the Cremant de Limoux is probably one of the oldest known sparkling wines. It has been established that the monks of St. Hilaire, a village near Limoux, France produced a sparkling Limoux renown in the region as early as 1531. A document dated in 1774 attests that the Cremant de Limoux had become renown throughout France. The decree of February 18th, 1938 recognizes the Cremant de Limoux as an Appellation d'Origine Controlee, and that it is currently classed in the group of the best French sparkling wines. In 1531, about 150 years before the Champagne region first produced champagne, the monks of St. Hilaire near Limoux who had been cultivating the Mauzac grape (Blanquette), discovered natural sparkling wine, making it the Oldest Brut in the World!. Michel Olivier Brut is produced in the wine region of Limoux, France situated in the hills of western Languedoc. Three varieties of grapes: Chardonnay 70%, Chenin Blanc 20%, and Pinot Noir 10% are used for the elaboration of this Cremant de Limoux. This high quality sparkling wine is the product of traditional farming methods, carefully chosen grapes grown on 65 hectares (160 acres) of appellation d'Origine Controlee vineyards, and the skilled practice of the ‘Methode Traditionnelle'.

Since then, only in the years of the civil war stopped the production of wine, the rest, to this day, we continue to elaborate it combining the wisdom acquired generation after generation, with the techniques, and the most modern machinery, but without losing its essence, such as the production in centenary tubs of original work, designed by the architect of the cellar Cèsar Martinell, one of the greatest exponents of Modernism, the most outstanding architectural movement, characteristic and original of the Tarragoninas lands.
