"Tasted from magnum, Piper-Heidsieck's 2018 Vintage opens with an aromatic medley of pear, freshly baked bread, orange zest and dried apricot mingling with white peach, wheat toast and a subtle trace of smoky reduction. Medium- to full-bodied, it is ample and textural, underpinned by ripe yet vibrant acidity and chalky structuring extract, culminating in a long, delicately toasty finish. Disgorged in January 2024, it carries a dosage of seven grams per liter. RP 90 - NV Piper-Heidsieck Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Essentiel Based on the 2017 vintage and complemented by 30% reserve wines, Piper-Heidsieck’s NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Essentiel was disgorged in May 2023 with a dosage of 4.8 grams per liter. Sourced from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Sézannais, it reveals an expressive bouquet of pear, white peach and yuzu, mingling with notes of candied citrus, freshly baked bread and a hint of smoky reduction. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fleshy and charming, with racy acidity and a pillowy mousse that leads to a long, toasty finish."

"The 2018 Champagne Millésime Brut displays a bright yellow/straw color and is expressive on opening, leading with notes of buttered brioche, poached pear, espresso crema, and preserved citrus. The palate is ripe and inviting, with a rounded and pillowing mousse and a soft juicy texture. It offers a generous feel and a delicate warmth on the finish. It is drinking well out of the gate and offers more immediate appeal for drinking over the coming 4-6 years."

"This is young for a Vintage Champagne release. That means a citrus aroma and bright fruit flavors are prominent. It balances with the toasty, nutty character in a wine that could age further. Drink from 2026."

"Aromas of red berries, spices, herbs and pear introduce the 2018 Brut Vintage from Piper-Heidsieck, a moderately weighted, tense and delicate Champagne with a well-balanced mousse and a mouthwatering, delicate finish. This is a classic, fresh and refined Champagne."

"A pure beam of crème de cassis rides the creamy mousse of this expressive Champagne, which is rich and toasty but well-defined and balanced by vibrant, lemony acidity. Flavors of poached apricot, spun honey, anise and ginger join the cassis note and linger through the lasting finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2035."

"Quince and linden, tarte tatin and gunpowder. Firm acidity on the palate with fine mousse, medium body and a chewy finish with tension. It will develop more complexity with time, but ready to drink"

"Showing nicely complex notes of figs, red apples, golden pears, walnuts and lemon conserve on toast, with a touch of beeswax. It’s medium-bodied, with bright acidity and a textured, phenolic palate. Tight bubbles. Dry feel. 55% pinot and 45% chardonnay. 7g/L dosage. Delicious now."

"The 2014 Brut Vintage, a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with a dosage of seven grams per liter, has turned out nicely with aromas of pear, peach, almonds and smoky hints. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fruity with a delicate mousse, this is a structured, tension-filled but airborne Champagne with high acidity, the sign of a cool weather vintage. Although already thoroughly enjoyable, it should age well over the next five years. Drinking window: 2023-2030."

"A perfectly mature Champagne, this is just ready to drink. Fresh fruits contrast with the mature toastiness. The blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay gives texture plus minerality in harmony. Drink this fine wine now"

"A seamless Champagne, finely textured and showing a creamy viscosity on the palate. This vibrant version winds a subtle, toasty thread of brioche and roasted almond through flavors of black currant, dried apricot and candied lemon peel. Mouthwatering and lightly chalky on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2029."

"A vintage wine, this hints of maturity while preserving a fresh core of balanced fruit and texture. Almost equally balanced between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the wine brings together structure and minerality to sustain the fruit. Drink this Champagne from 2021."

"A crowd-pleasing example, showing overall balance and integration, with lightly mouthwatering acidity and a creamy texture married to an appealing mix of white cherry, almond biscotti, lemon curd and anise flavors. A lovely streak of spicy minerality drives the long finish. Drink now through 2027. 8,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."

"Unfurling in the glass with incipiently complex aromas of citrus oil, wheat toast, fresh peach and crisp orchard fruit, the newly released 2012 Vintage Brut is full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. Even though it's still a little reserved after its recent disgorgement,"
