Vinification is mostly in stainless steel, with a rigorous selection of reserve wines and moderate dosage. The wines show aromas of crisp apple, lemon, fresh red berries, pear, white flowers and a hint of brioche. The palate is lively, rounded and dynamic, with fine bubbles, clean freshness and a flavorful finish. Piper Heidsieck’s style is expressive, modern and precise, consistently bright and energetic.
