Piper Heidsick Brut
750ml
The majority of the blend of Piper-Heidsieck's signature Cuvee Brut is composed of Pinot Noir. Hand-selected parcels of Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay also play important roles in the elaboration of this well balanced cuvee. Selected reserve wines from preceding years are incorporated into the blend to ensure consistency of style year after year. The blend is aged for a minimum of 24 months on the lees before release.The nose is reminiscent of a bright, fresh morning during early spring. Notes of citrus fruits, Granny Smith apple and subtle hints of warm toast follow spring blossoms such as hawthorn. The palate is lively and fresh, with more mature notes of pineapple, nutmeg, white pepper and oriental zest. You may have heard of the saying 'sophisticated simplicity' - this is one of those occasions.
