Why shop with us?
Piper-Heidsieck’s 2013 Brut Millésime is a finely detailed Champagne that pairs a taut, lively style with the depth gained from eight years on the lees. Made from 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir sourced from Montagne de Reims, it offers a distinctive meeting of saline freshness, subtle toastiness and elegant bubbles.
Tasting Notes
The mousse is described as delicate and filigreed, though a specific colour is not provided. The nose opens with a gently smoky, reductive note, followed by sea-breeze freshness and hints of toasted nuts.
Production
The blend comprises 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims, and the wine spent eight years ageing on its lees. Its dosage is 9 g/L. Details about the harvest and vinification process are not provided. The wine is already showing well; its precise further cellaring potential is not specified.
Food & Serving
Its saline, oyster-shell character makes it a natural match for oysters and other shellfish; it should also suit simply prepared seafood. Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C, to bring out its freshness and fine mousse. Decanting is generally unnecessary for this style; open shortly before serving.
Producer
Piper-Heidsieck is a historic Champagne house founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. It has a long-standing place in the Champagne region, although no specific producer achievements related to this cuvée are provided here.
