Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut is an iconic, elegant, fresh, and harmonious cuvée made from more than 100 grape varieties from different terroirs in Champagne. It is a symbol of the style and precision that has accompanied the Piper-Heidsieck brand since 1785.

Characteristics:

Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, complemented by at least 30% reserve wines, which give the wine depth, complexity and consistent character across vintages. Each batch is aged for at least 24 months on the lees and another 6 months after disgorging to fully develop its delicate persistence and creamy texture.

Production:

This sparkling gem is the result of the work of experienced winemakers who combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern, sustainable approach. It all starts with hand harvesting at full ripeness and ends with carefully controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Piper-Heidsieck boasts Haute Valeur Environnementale (level 3) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne certifications. No herbicides are used in the vineyards, the soil is maintained naturally, and flowers and grasses grow between the rows to promote biodiversity and bee populations.
