TASTING NOTES

Pale golden robe with green highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens on white flowers, fresh citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and a discreet chalky minerality, enriched by a hint of brioche. On the palate, the attack is lively and precise, the mid-palate offers a creamy, taut texture, and the finish delivers a long, digestible salinity — the hallmark of the great gastronomic Blancs de Blancs.

Piper-Heidsieck

About this house

Founded in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck is one of the great Champagne Houses, its history intimately bound up with the royal courts of Europe and the world of cinema — a Hollywood favourite since the 1930s. Under the stewardship of Chef de Caves Émilien Boutillat, the House has radically reoriented its style towards greater precision, minerality and gastronomic ambition.

The Essentiel collection embodies this new direction: high-gastronomic Champagnes conceived for connoisseurs and Michelin-starred tables alike, with Extra-Brut dosages that allow terroir and grape variety to express themselves in their purest form.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Its citrus vivacity and fine bubbles are a natural match for comté gougères.

Starter

Starter

The chalky minerality and freshness of the Chardonnay marry elegantly with the gentle brininess of sea bass carpaccio.

Main course

Main course

The creamy texture and taut acidity of the Blanc de Blancs perfectly balance the bitterness and vegetal sweetness of green asparagus.
