Has excellent fine mousse and a complex bouquet of ripe fruit and yeasty brioche, the refined palate tightening the game with fresh apple and ripe citrus fruit, then a pleasingly dry finish. 93 points James Halliday A gorgeous, toasty nose leads to candied citrus, honey and toast flavors in a medium-bodied, sumptuous profile.

He moved to Reims to be a cloth merchant, and discovered wine-making there. He started making his own in 1780, and since he was neither a viticulturist nor native from Reims, he showed talent and worked hard at his new-found profession. He founded his own House on 16 July 1785. He had already become an expert at his art, and even dedicated one of his wines to Queen Marie-Antoinette. He was granted the honor of presenting it to Her Majesty in person. At Piper-Heidsieck we harvest and vinify separately the wines from 50 carefully selected vineyards, known as crus.
