"Golden pink in color, this Champagne is well balanced. Richness contrasts with the bright apple and touches of red currant that give the wine structure and density. Drink now."
James Suckling, 93 Points
"This is a very vinous rosé with lots of cherry and dried strawberry. Canned watermelon, too. Full-bodied with candied-lemon and cherry flavors. Creamy texture and a fresh finish. 73% pinot noir, 24% chardonnay and 3% pinot meunier."

"Made from 73% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, and the rest Meunier, the NV Champagne Royale Reserve Brut Rosé is based on the 2018 vintage and has 9 grams per liter dosage. The nose is ripe and fleshy, with strawberry, cherry, and crushed roses. It is rounded and fluffy in its mousse, though it is dry, with raspberry, almond, and a silky texture on the finish. This is certainly a crowd pleaser to drink now or over the next ten years as an aperitif, on its own, or at the end of the night."
Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"Firm acidity creates a mouthwatering frame for this finely knit rosé, while the crunchy texture carries notes of ripe white peach and cherry fruit, Acacia blossom and salted almond. Clean-cut and lightly spiced on the chalky finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier."
Wine Advocate, 91 Points
"The newly released NV Brut Rosé Royale Réserve is based on the 2018 vintage and was disgorged early this year. Bursting with aromas of red apple, freshly baked bread, mint and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and gourmand, with a generous core of fruit, a pillowy mousse and a chalky finish. Philipponnat opted to use less red still wine than usual in the blend, given the power and intensity of color evident in 2018."
