Background

Inspired by this land and its tradition, we produce champagnes composed from 3 grape varieties: Chardonnay (lively and toasty), Meunier (fruity and fleshy), and Pinot Noir (powerful, berrylike), our signature grape variety. Piper-Heidsieck works with exceptional crus located principally in the areas of the Montagne de Reims and the Cote des Bar. Piper-Heidsieck has a special relationship with its winegrowers, the majority of whom are independent partners. Diverse and qualitative, with a unique savoir-faire, some have been working with our Champagne House for 3 generations. An ethical and moral contract of trust, based on a mutual requirement: uncompromised excellence.

Tasting Notes

The NV Rosé Sauvage Brut has a dark salmon color (thanks to the 25% of red wine) and offers an intense, aromatic, almost meaty bouquet of red fruits (red currant, cherries) along with earthy, chalky and yeasty brioche flavors. Vinous indeed on the nose! On the palate, this is a very clear, fresh and aromatic Rosé that comes a long as a sparkling red wine like Trollinger. It's so charming, round and fresh but also dry and well structured. The finish is clear, dry and cleansing, just gorgeous. This is a perfect Champagne to be served with fish, white meat and even barbeque. This rosé is a light garnet color, with expressive flavors of mulled cherry, mandarin orange peel and smoke, with an aromatic hint of herb riding the satiny mousse. Offers a firm, well-spiced finish. Enjoy this with food, perhaps duck breast. Drink now through 2021. 92pts Wine Spectator
