Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
An extra-brut dosage of 5 g/L and lively citrus notes define a taut, invigorating profile.
Roundness
Partial malolactic fermentation (85%) and ripe fruit lend a well-balanced, creamy texture.
Power
A dominant Pinot Noir (80%) delivers a broad structure and a richly satisfying mid-palate.
Length
Thirty-six months on lees and a persistent mineral finish linger with quiet elegance.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with copper highlights and a fine, persistent effervescence. On the nose, a bouquet of stone fruits — apricot, clementine — evolves towards raspberry and blueberry, lifted by smoky notes and gentle spice. The palate is at once fresh and indulgent, driven by citrus and red fruits, before a precise, mineral finish of real elegance.

Piper-Heidsieck

About this house

Founded in 1785 in Reims, Piper-Heidsieck stands among the great historic Champagne houses, its stylistic identity rooted in the precision of its blending and an unapologetic aromatic directness. Under the stewardship of chef de caves Émilien Boutillat, the house has firmly embraced an extra-brut positioning that champions purity of fruit and the minerality of its terroirs.

The Essentiel range embodies this parcel-driven philosophy: each cuvée is built around a singular aromatic profile, with crus rigorously selected to showcase a particular grape variety or style, free from the artifice of heavy dosage.

Food pairing

The citrus notes and minerality of this Blanc de Noirs are a natural match for herb-cured salmon gravlax.

The structure and depth of the Pinot Noir make for a superb pairing with a morel mushroom risotto.

To be redone

I’ve gone for it, and I have no regrets. Lively on the attack, full-bodied on the mid-palate. A truly impressive wine. A sure bet.
