Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Driven by 50% Chardonnay and the mineral acidity of the Grands Crus, the freshness remains bright and taut despite the sunny warmth of the 2018 vintage.
Roundness
More than five years on lees lend a generous, silky texture that wraps around the ripe fruit with real elegance.
Power
The expressive fruitiness of 2018 — an exceptional, sun-filled vintage — asserts itself with character without ever weighing the wine down.
Length
The delicately toasted, fruit-driven finish lingers beautifully, revealing the depth of the sixteen selected crus.

TASTING NOTES

The colour is a luminous gold with warm golden highlights, shot through with a fine, persistent effervescence. The nose opens generously on nectarine, ripe red fruits, fresh almond and mocha, with an alluring and delicate smoky note. On the palate, the attack is broad and juicy — raspberry, pineapple, white peach — underpinned by a lively, chalky acidity, leading to a long, brioche-laced finish with a beautifully restrained toasty quality.

Terroirs

Sixteen carefully selected crus, drawn predominantly from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus with a strong presence on the Montagne de Reims; only the cuvée — the first pressing, the purest — is retained, a reflection of an uncompromising, plot-by-plot standard of excellence.

Piper-Heidsieck

About this house

Founded in 1785 in Reims by Florens-Louis Heidsieck, Piper-Heidsieck has embodied French Champenois elegance for more than two centuries — a house intimately bound to the world of spectacle and glamour, seducing even Marilyn Monroe, who made it her Champagne of choice.

Today, the house cultivates an expressive, sun-drenched and luminous style, drawing on sixteen crus for blends of remarkable precision. Its range, from the iconic Brut to the Vintage and Rare cuvées, speaks to an enduring pursuit of fruit intensity and aromatic complexity rooted in Champagne's finest terroirs.
