#95 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2019

The Brut NV represents the epitome of the Piper-Heidsieck style: a classic well-structured and fruit forward champagne. Piper-Heidsieck carefully selects fruit from more than 100 of Champagne’s crus to blend the Brut NV. This adds great complexity and dimension to the wine and allows the bold Piper-Heidsieck style to shine through. A majority blend of Pinot Noir provides structure to the composition while Pinot Meunier expands the wine with its brilliant fruit expression and fleshiness and Chardonnay bring elegant tones and acidity. The precious reserve wines create a consistent flavor profile year after year.

This Champagne teases and allures us with its festive light-drenched pale gold shimmer and joyful display of neat lively bubbles. Notes of almond and fresh hazelnut accompany the precise ascent of its bubbles. It is lively subtle and light leaving a deliciously incisive sensation of smoothness marked by the pureness of fresh pear and apple and a delicate hint of citrus fruits. A harmonious mixture of bright crunchy pomelo blonde grapes and juicy white fruits creates the delightfully surprising sensation of lightness embraced by the structure and depth from the Pinot Noir; all beautifully balanced.

Wines from Champagne

Associated with luxury, celebration, Champagne is where the world’s most prized sparkling wine originates. In the past it was very common for people to confuse the term Champagne and sparkling wine as they are so synonymous. By EU law however, only sparkling wine made in the Champagne region and under strict quality standards can legally be called by that name.

Sparkling wine produced the Champagne way, goes through secondary fermentation in the bottle. This is known as méthode champenoise or outside of Champagne it is called the traditional method. When the yeast inside the bottle have finished working, they die and become lees. The lees remain in contact with the wine until the winemaker decides to take them out, creating texture, richness, and complexity in the wine.

In comparison, the other popular way of fermenting sparkling wine is called the Charmat method where the fermentation happens en masse in a large tank and extended lees contact does not happen. . This is cheaper and rather than emphasizing richness and complexity, the tank method enhances clean fruit and aromatics, making wines that are youthful and easy drinking.

The principal grapes that go into making champagne include: Chardonnay (white), Pinot Noir (red) and Pinot Meunier (red). A Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay will be labelled Blanc de blancs while ones comprised of only red grapes will be called Blanc de noirs. Whether it be white or rose however, most Champagne is made from a mix of both red and white grapes.

Critic reviews

Wine Enthusiast – The Champagne is balanced between a soft Brut character and crisper lemon flavors. That balance gives a fine wine open and easy but with a fine bite of acidity at the end.

James Suckling – This has attractive aromas of croissants sourdough dried lemons apricots figs and walnuts. Soft and balanced on the palate with a medium body creamy mousse and a dry rounded finish. Drink now.

Decanter – Racy nose of real finesse appeals instantly. A well-hewn palate with bright florals and red fruit notes with delicate flavours of honey. Blend : 20% Chardonnay 30% Pinot Meunier 50% Pinot Noir
