Champagne Piper-Heidsieck Brut NV
Champagne, FranceLeading and completing with dough, toast and lemon curd, this 40/30/30 pinot noir/pinot meunier/chardonnay blend is nothing but consistent. Broad and creamy on the palate, with abundant red fruits, corn, brioche and sweet almond on the finish. Tightens and freshens a bit on the end, but this is a generous, night club / night cap blend. A sweeter NV for those who prefer that style. The cuvée takes in more than 100 crus from around the Champagne region, as well as pinot meunier from the Grande et Petite Montagne de Reims region.Tasted: 16 August 2016Tasted by: Prices:BC | $60.99 | 750ml | BCLS |

Champagne Piper-Heidsieck Brut NV
Champagne, FranceAmple toast and lemon curd dominate this expansive fizz, a 40/30/30 pinot noir/pinot meunier/chardonnay blend. Broad and toasty on the palate, with red fruits, honeyed brioche and a nutty. light caramel finish. Less streamline than the last time I tasted it, but still entirely solid and reliable.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $60.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
