Description

Piper-Heidsieck Rare Brut Millésime 2012 is a magnum of vintage Champagne, built around an elegant Chardonnay-led blend and given a decade on the lees. Its combination of ripe fruit, toasted complexity and lively freshness makes it a compelling expression of the celebrated 2012 harvest.

Tasting Notes
The nose brings together smoky, almost tropical ripe fruit and warm notes of toasted, grilled almonds, with a passing hint of candied orange peel. On the palate, golden plum and apricot come through as juicy and mature yet still fresh, while roasted-nut savouriness adds depth. The wine is described as notably youthful, with clean fruit and a long, toasty finish; its precise appearance and further ageing potential are not specified.

Production
The blend is 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay comes mainly from the Montagne de Reims, with a smaller contribution from the Côte des Blancs, lending the wine its distinctive, elegant Chardonnay character. It spent ten years ageing on the lees and has a dosage of 8 g/L. Harvesting and specific vinification methods are not provided.

Food & Serving
Try it with roast poultry, lobster or other rich seafood, or a well-aged hard cheese—the wine’s freshness can balance richness, while its toasted notes complement savoury flavours. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C. Pouring straight from the magnum is a good way to preserve its lively mousse; decanting is not generally necessary.

Producer
Founded in Reims in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck is one of Champagne’s historic houses. It has built an international reputation for its Champagne, including vintage and prestige cuvées. Further details of the house’s achievements or regional role are not specified here.
