£69.29
Piper-Heidsieck Champagne CUVÉE BRUT 12% vol. in a 0.75 l bottle with a ‘Perfume Edition’ gift box is the iconic signature cuvée of the renowned Champagne house Piper-Heidsieck and embodies the unmistakable style of one of Champagne’s most famous maisons. This elegant special edition combines the house’s time-honoured art of champagne-making with an exclusive presentation, making it an excellent gift for special occasions.
The Cuvée Brut is created from a meticulous blend of more than 100 crus and combines the three classic Champagne grape varieties: 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. The high proportion of Pinot Noir lends the champagne structure and expressiveness, whilst Meunier provides fruitiness and smoothness. Chardonnay brings freshness, elegance and finesse to the cuvée. The result is a harmonious Brut champagne from France, characterised by its versatility and balanced character. Whether as a stylish aperitif, at festive receptions or spontaneous get-togethers – Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut transforms every occasion into a special moment. Thanks to its ageing potential of five years and beyond, the cuvée also develops additional complexity and depth.

Tasting NoteIn the glass, the Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut displays a radiant golden hue with a fine, lively perlage. On the nose, elegant aromas of pear, white peach, citrus fruits and orange blossom unfold. On the palate, notes of toasted bread, fresh almonds and a hint of mint provide freshness and a smooth elegance. The structure of the Pinot Noir lends depth and expressiveness. The finish is balanced, delicately salty and long-lasting.
Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut pairs superbly with sushi, maki rolls with tuna or salmon, and delicate seafood. This French brut champagne is also an excellent accompaniment to fresh tagliatelle with pan-fried king prawns and a champagne butter sauce. It showcases its versatility particularly impressively as an aperitif or with elegant finger food creations. Served at 8 to 10 °C, it reveals its full freshness and finesse.
