Lithe and vibrant, this graceful Champagne is driven by well-knit, racy acidity, carrying flavors of ripe black cherry, grated ginger, toast point and mineral on the satiny mousse. (AN)

The NV Cuvée Brut is a bright, fresh effort from this estate. Offering up plenty of yeasty notes, stone fruits, a kiss of brioche and subtle minerality, it’s clean and lively on the palate, with bright acidity, and a classic dry finish. If you’re looking for a high-quality sparker that will deliver the goods over the coming 4-5 years, you can’t go wrong here.

The latest release of Piper-Heidsieck's NV Cuvée Brut is showing well, offering up attractive aromas of fresh pears, green apple, dried flowers and subtle hints of wheat toast and fresh bread. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, generous but nicely focused, with an enveloping core of fruit, ripe but racy acids and a nicely balanced finish. This is a very solid non-vintage cuvée that should evolve gracefully for the coming decade. Drink through 2029. (WK)

Piper's nonvintage Champagne is balanced, fruity, fresh and elegant. It is both ripe and crisp with apple fruits, a mineral edge and final fruitiness. Drink now. (RV)

Exotic fruits on the nose, lively and brisk in character. Persistent small bubbles with a ripe and zesty acidity. (Blind tasted by Simon Field MW, Peter Liem, David Vareille)

The NV Brut Cuvée is soft, plush and very easy to like. Brioche, baked apple tart, spice and vanillin are front and center. This is an especially easygoing NV Champagne. The dosage feels a bit on the high side, but the wine's balance is impeccable. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years. L190219. (AG)

By: Gary Westby2/18/2015K&L Staff MemberIf I were to pick one Grand Marque Champagne house as most improved over the last 10 years, it would certainly be Piper Heidsieck. This clean, refreshing Champagne is sourced from 100 different villages in Champagne and aged for two years on the lees.

By: Scott Beckerley8/17/2013K&L Staff MemberThis is a great little champagne at a very affordable price! It has pear and ripe flavors on the nose with some cream, as well. On the palate, juicy and rich but, there are also ample mineral notes on the finish. Very, very nice at a really great price!
