Piper-Heidsieck is one of the essential names in Champagne. Its red label is one of the most recognizable! Pinot Noir is the House's signature grape. This grape variety is central to Piper-Heidsieck's cuvées, bringing structure, power, and balance. The House places particular importance on using reserve wines in its blends. The Piper-Heidsieck style could be defined as elegant, precise, and balanced. The Piper-Heidsieck range impresses with the great purity and mastery of the Cuvée Essentiel. Available as a pure Chardonnay, the Cuvée Essentiel Blanc de Blancs is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, and the Sézannais region, with a minimum of 35% reserve wines. The Cuvée Rare, however, is in a class of its own. Its 2008 vintage, one of the finest in recent years in Champagne, is remarkable. It offers the discovery of a pure and infinite spring, and exceptional complexity.
