Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel - Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Champagne

Founded in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck is one of Champagne’s most iconic houses, renowned for combining centuries of heritage with a modern, precise winemaking style. The house has long been celebrated for its ability to craft Champagnes that are both elegant and expressive, balancing freshness, structure and accessibility at the highest level.

The Essentiel – Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut is a refined tribute to Chardonnay in its purest form. Made exclusively from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes sourced from some of Champagne’s finest terroirs, this cuvée is defined by its clarity, tension and mineral-driven elegance.

With an Extra-Brut dosage, the wine retains exceptional purity and freshness, allowing the natural character of the grape and terroir to shine. On the palate, it reveals vibrant citrus notes, green apple and white blossom, complemented by subtle hints of brioche and chalky minerality. Extended ageing on the lees adds depth and a fine, creamy mousse, resulting in a Champagne that is both precise and beautifully balanced.
Highly regarded for its finesse and consistency, the Essentiel – Blanc de Blancs stands out as a sophisticated and gastronomic Champagne, appreciated by both critics and discerning enthusiasts.

This Champagne excels as an aperitif, but truly comes into its own alongside oysters, shellfish, delicate fish dishes or lightly prepared seafood. Its bright acidity and elegant structure also pair wonderfully with refined vegetarian dishes or soft, fresh cheeses.
A Champagne of purity, elegance and precision, the Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel – Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut is an excellent choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and impeccable craftsmanship.

The Piper-Heidsieck NV Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Essentiel was disgorged in February 2022 with a dosage of six grams per liter and includes 30% of reserve wines composed of more than 150 different wines. It reveals a fresh, delicate bouquet with aromas of orchard fruit, lemon, spring flowers and buttered toast. Medium-bodied, it’s a supple Champagne, tense but ethereal, with high acidity and well-integrated dosage: 89 Parker points.
