Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut

Champagne, France

This is the Signature cuvée of the House.  Round, vibrant and extremely well balanced, reflecting the rich variety of its blend of 100 crus from across the patchwork of Champagne vineyards.   It is a festive champagne, perfect for sharing and perfect for celebrating. A champagne to be enjoyed with friends, at a party or perhaps at a picnic along the water’s edge.

Tasting Notes

The Cuvée Brut takes us on a journey of almonds, fresh hazelnuts and fruits from the orchard, like freshly cut apples and pears. The wine also offers a smoky quality, almost toasted, which gives the impression of savouring a bite of freshly baked bread, just out of the oven. It is a precise wine, extremely well balanced, which offers plenty of finesse on the palate.

    "Fresh and precise, the nose reveals white peach, citrus oil, salty butter and light brioche. Fine, persistent perlag prepares the palate for a gentle unfolding of orchard fruits, citrus oil, white tea, stony notes and a hint of salinity. Bright and lively, it pairs beautifully with umami-rich dishes such as oysters or fresh mackerel."

    "A bright yellow color, the NV Champagne Cuvee Brut is generous and classic on the nose with notes of toasted brioche, buttered citrus, and caramel red apples. It fills the palate with a pillowing mousse, and its ripe profile becomes more savory through the finish. This solid and highly charming cuvée wou;d be perfect for parties and as an aperitif to enjoy over the near-term."

    "Refined and expressive, with a bright buoyancy to the rich flavors of crème de cassis, glazed tangerine, brioche and lemon-infused pastry cream. This is plush and refined on the palate, offering a lingering, smoke- and spice-tinged finish."

    "A fruity and playful champagne brut. On the nose aromas of apples and pear pie follow through to a medium body with medium bubbles. Supple, fruity and refreshing."

    "Reflecting the house style, this blend of wines produced from multiple parcels provides a cross section of the region’s terroir. The wine is brilliant pale gold in the glass, with a fine and persistent mousse. The extended bottle aging provides multiple layers of tree fruit and toasted nuts. In the mouth, it is supple and lively. A great example of an attractive house style, from one of the region’s leading producers"
