Product details
Piper-Heidsieck, established in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck in Reims, France, is one of the oldest and most esteemed Champagne houses. Renowned for its dedication to quality and innovation, the house has garnered numerous accolades over the centuries. The Cuvée Brut, Piper-Heidsieck's signature champagne, exemplifies this commitment. Crafted from a meticulous blend of over 100 crus, it harmoniously combines 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay, resulting in a vibrant and well-balanced champagne that reflects the rich diversity of Champagne's terroir.
On the nose, Cuvée Brut reveals elegant aromas of pear, white flowers, brioche, fresh almonds, and toasted bread. The palate is equally refined, offering a juicy, fleshy texture with notes of pear and golden grapes, culminating in a finish highlighted by citrus and grapefruit flavors. This versatile champagne pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, from beef and salmon tartare with roasted sesame and fresh herbs to classic fish and chips or tiger prawns. Its balanced profile also complements light appetizers and canapés, making it an ideal choice for festive occasions and celebrations.
