Piper-Heidsieck Vintage Champagne is a true vintage expression from selective harvests, aged on the lees for depth and finesse. It shows a bright gold color with a fine, persistent mousse and a focused bouquet of citrus zest, brioche, and white flowers. On the palate, it delivers orchard fruit, delicate toast, and mineral complexity, supported by crisp acidity and a long, refined finish. An excellent match for seafood, sushi, poultry, and soft cheeses; can age gracefully in a cool cellar.
