Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Sublime
3rd September 2014
A great classic Champagne – structured, full-bodied and bursting with fruit. The blend of the classic PIPER-HEIDSIECK Cuvée Brut, with a maturation period extended by a year and with a generous dosage. A great demi-sec Champagne, a blend of a majority created of Pinots Noirs, over 100 crus and Pinot Meuniers from the Grande and Petite Montagne de Reims.
It appears antique, bronze gold. Delicate, nonchalant bubbles.
On the nose, the fruit is ripe, juicy and melts into pastry-like flavours, such as caramel, vanilla and dark rum: roasted pineapple, vanilla pear and flambéed banana.
There is a lively attack on candied citrus fruits and roasted pineapple on the palate. A duality which balances itself between smoothness and juiciness – cinnamon and vanilla-roasted pear. A structured, full-bodied, melt-in-the-mouth wine.
