The name of Royal Reserve goes back to the ancestors of the Philipponnat family, vineyard owners, wine-merchants and winemakers, suppliers to Louis XIV, magistrates and Royal Mayors of Ay.

The essential characteristics of the Mareuil-sur-Ay terroir, where mainly Pinot Noir grapes are grown, are predominant in this cuvee. It offers a superb balance between structure, vinosity and a long finish.
