Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

In sight it presents a brilliant and invigorating color to the well defined fruit with which it is elaborated, its aroma is as pure as the citric and white fruits notes that it gives off. In the mouth we speak of an intense and long-lasting flavor of fruit, nuts and sweets, which is given by the long period of rest through which this wine has passed.

Pairing. How to taste it

This champagne is perfect for drinking chilled from the fridge. As for the accompaniment, it is as varied as it is peculiar, we can accompany it from the traditional British dish "fish and chips", to a creamy chestnut soup, going through a daring and tasty cheese or seafood, such as some prawns or oysters.

History about Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel

The champagne house Piper-Heidsieck was founded by Florens-Louis Heidsieck in July 1785 in Rheims. When he died in 1828, the business was taken over by his nephew and in 1839 he joined his cousin Henri-Guillaume Piper and they began a long historical journey together.

In the late 1980s, the brand became part of the Rémy Cointreau wines and spirits group until 2011, when it was sold to Européenne de Particiaption Industrielle, a private holding company for French luxury brands.
