Piper Heidsieck Rare Millesime Brut Release 2021 Limited Edition 1988 w/box 750ml

Winespectator.com/ Issue Dec 15, 2010
A rich and delicious Champagne, with beautiful balance and a fine-grained texture on the palate supporting grilled almond and iodine overtones. Latent layers of mushroom, smoke, candied citrus peel and brioche flavors add complexity, while fresh, salty acidity enlivens the wine, leading to a mouthwatering finish.

Piper-Heidsieck is one of the most famous houses in Champagne. It is known for its structured, fruit-driven house style made predominantly from Pinot Noir, with smaller portions of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
The company has its origins in the cloth- and wine-trading company Heidsieck and Co. which was founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. The brand itself came about in 1838 after the marriage of Madame Heidsieck and Henri-Guillaume Piper, but went into a period of decline for the next hundred years. It was resurrected in the mid-20th Century, and has gone on to become one of the world's most recognizable Champagnes.
