A blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, including 30% of reserve wines, Piper-Heidsieck’s NV Brut Cuvée was disgorged with eight grams per litre. From the very first whiff, there are surprisingly compelling scents of red berries, pear and peach, biscuits and autolyse scents. The palate is balanced, light to medium-bodied and elegantly fleshy with a fresh finish.

Piper-Heidsieck is one of the most distinguished Champagne houses, founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck in Reims, France. It has a storied history, marked by a commitment to excellence and innovation that has helped it become one of the most recognized Champagne brands globally. 

**Historical Significance:**
The house of Piper-Heidsieck was established when Florens-Louis Heidsieck set out to create a wine worthy of a queen. His vision was realized when he presented his Champagne to Queen Marie Antoinette, which significantly boosted the brand's early reputation. After his death, the company was taken over by his nephew, Christian Heidsieck, and eventually partnered with Henri-Guillaume Piper, which led to the creation of the Piper-Heidsieck name in 1839.

**Champagne Style and Production:**
Piper-Heidsieck is known for producing a style of Champagne that balances richness with freshness. They use a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay grapes, which contribute to the Champagne’s structure, fruitiness, and elegance, respectively. The house style is vibrant and expressive, with a significant proportion of Pinot Noir giving the wine a full-bodied profile. 

The production process adheres to the traditional methods of Champagne production, including secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended aging on lees to enhance complexity and texture. Piper-Heidsieck also occasionally releases vintage Champagnes in addition to their non-vintage cuvées and prestige cuvées like the Rare Champagne, which is produced only in exceptional years.

**Recognition and Modern Era:**
Under the guidance of Régis Camus, Piper-Heidsieck’s Chef de Cave, the house has gained significant acclaim for the quality and consistency of its Champagne. Camus has been awarded the prestigious title of "Sparkling Winemaker of the Year" multiple times by the International Wine Challenge, reflecting his mastery and the house’s high standards.

**Cultural Impact:**
Piper-Heidsieck has long-standing associations with the film industry, famously being the sole Champagne served at the Cannes Film Festival. It has also been featured in numerous Hollywood films, further cementing its status as a symbol of celebration and excellence in popular culture.

Today, Piper-Heidsieck continues to be celebrated for its quality, serving as a standard-bearer for what premium Champagne can offer—refinement, vibrancy, and a deep connection to its heritage.

In 1668, Dom Pérignon is said to have discovered how to make sparkling wine; today his technique is used the world over, although Champagne continues to make some of the finest. France’s most northerly wine region, Champagne is now home to 15,000 growers and 290 ‘houses’. A blend of grape varieties is usually required: white Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance, and two reds – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – to provide body and backbone.
