“Piper Heidsieck is one of the most recognizable and famous names in Champagne. Like many houses, much of their production is multi- or non-vintage; however, they also release a small quantity of vintage Champagne in the best years, reflecting the personality and growing conditions of a single season. The 2018 vintage is well-regarded, albeit an early-ripening year, and it successfully combines both quality and quantity. The wines at Piper Heidsieck are now made by the young and dynamic “chef de cave,” Emilien Boutillat, who was named IWC Sparkling Winemaker of the Year in 2021. This vintage Champagne combines freshness with complexity and power—a top wine from a famous house in full renaissance mode.”
