Piper-Heidsieck Brut Millésime 2012

Key Facts

48% Chardonnay, 52% Pinot Noir
Dégorgement: January 2019
Dosage: 10 g/l
Alcohol: 12.5%

The Evolution of the Vintage Style

Piper-Heidsieck was once famous for razor-sharp, highly structured Champagnes that developed extremely slowly.

Vintage bottlings such as 1945, 1953 and 1955 are so outstanding that they can easily stand comparison with Dom Pérignon or Bollinger.

With the introduction of the prestige cuvée Florens-Louis, overall quality declined noticeably.

The style also changed significantly after major difficulties in the 1990s. The wines now undergo malolactic fermentation and are fuller and creamier in their youth.

If you are looking for an attractive vintage Champagne with a wide drinking window, Piper-Heidsieck Millésime has once again become a very good choice.

Ratings

93+ William Kelley robertparker.com Unfurling in the glass with incipiently complex aromas of citrus oil, wheat toast, fresh peach and crisp orchard fruit, the newly released 2012 Vintage Brut is full-bodied, deep and tightly wound, with excellent concentration, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. Even though it's still a little reserved after its recent disgorgement
