Its combination of ripe fruit, toasted complexity and lively freshness makes it a compelling expression of the celebrated 2012 harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Reims in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck is one of Champagne’s historic houses.
