$389.00

Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut NV is crafted by Piper-Heidsieck in Reims, Champagne, blending predominantly Pinot Noir with Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier sourced from a broad range of Premier and Grand Cru villages. This is a confident and expressive non-vintage Champagne, opening with aromas of ripe apple, pear and citrus zest, layered with notes of brioche, toasted almond and a gentle hint of spice. The palate is light to medium bodied and finely balanced, showing lively acidity and a crisp, persistent mousse that brings freshness and energy. Orchard fruit flavours are complemented by subtle yeast complexity and a chalky mineral edge through the clean, dry finish. The style is vibrant and approachable yet clearly structured, making it highly versatile at the table. Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut has received 92 points from Wine Spectator, reinforcing its reputation for consistency and polish. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve with added complexity over the next four to six years.
