The Essentiel Collection from Champagne Piper-Heidsieck brings together cuvées crafted for their complexity, precision, and their ability to meet the expectations of haute cuisine and discerning wine lovers. The deliberate choice of extended ageing, Extra Brut dosage, and full transparency of information reflects the philosophy behind this range.
Extra Brut
Color: pale yellow with slight green highlights.
Nose: aromas of citrus fruits, green apple, hazelnut and white flowers, with a subtle brioche note.
Palate: a lively, taut attack supported by fine minerality and delicate bubbles. The low dosage enhances the purity of the fruit and the structure of the predominantly Pinot Noir blend. The finish is long, clean and saline.
Pairing: perfect as an aperitif or with gastronomic dishes.
Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut
Color: deep golden yellow, bright, with a fine and persistent bead.
Nose: intense aromas of ripe red fruits, mirabelle plum, sweet spices and a subtle smoky touch.
Palate: generous and structured, driven by beautiful vinosity and fine effervescence. The low dosage reveals the full complexity of Pinot Noir and Meunier while maintaining freshness and balance. The finish is long, gourmand and mineral.
Pairing: ideal with characterful dishes or white meats.
Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut
Color: pale golden yellow with silvery reflections, clear and luminous, highlighted by fine and steady effervescence.
Nose: opens with notes of lemon, white flowers, fresh apple and almond.
Palate: chiselled texture, fine bubbles and vibrant tension. The chalky minerality brings freshness and length. With its Extra Brut dosage, it showcases the purity and precision of Chardonnay.
Pairing: a distinctive, refined cuvée, ideal as an aperitif or with seafood.
