Description

About Piper-Heidsieck

Piper-Heidsieck is a champagne house with a long and rich history that dates back to 1785. The house was founded by Florens-Louis Heidsieck, who was born into a family of wine merchants in Westphalia, Germany. He moved to France in 1777 and settled in Reims, where he began producing his own champagne.

Grape: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:Apple, White Peach, Brioche, Minerality

Unanimous praise for this outstanding cuvee including “Looks like it’s becoming another legendary Piper in the same style and league as 1988, ’76 and ’55” from Decanter.

The depth and complexity of this wine is almost incomprehensible, far beyond many Champagnes that sell for much, much more. The bouquet is a pure, complex blend of apple, white peach, a touch of leesiness, and fresh-baked bread. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, crisp and superbly detailed with an excellent minerality on the long, vibrant and very classy finish. Perfect with lobster and other rich shellfish.
