Ratings & Tasting Notes:

92 points Wine Spectator

Finely balanced and fresh, with the delicate bead carrying appealing ripe black cherry and green apple fruit, plus a fragrant mix of lime blossom, saffron, toasted almond and ground coffee details. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. (AN)

90 points Jeb Dunnuck

A bright yellow color, the NV Champagne Cuvee Brut is generous and classic on the nose with notes of toasted brioche, buttered citrus, and caramel red apples. It fills the palate with a pillowing mousse, and its ripe profile becomes more savory through the finish. This solid and highly charming cuvée would be perfect for parties and as an aperitif to enjoy over the near-term. (AF)

90 points James Suckling

A fruity and playful champagne brut. On the nose aromas of apples and pear pie follow through to a medium body with medium bubbles. Supple, fruity and refreshing.

Cult Wines International Notes:

The Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut is a non-vintage Champagne, which is the house’s signature and most emblematic bottling. It is crafted from a blend of grapes from over 100 different crus, primarily composed of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and a smaller percentage of Chardonnay. To ensure a consistent and elegant house style, a significant portion of reserve wines from previous years is added to the blend.

This Champagne is known for its light, fresh, and approachable character. On the nose, it often presents vibrant notes of citrus and green apple, with a hint of toasted brioche or almond from its time aging on the lees. On the palate, it is crisp and well-balanced, with flavors of white peach, pear, and a delicate minerality. The mousse is fine and lively, leading to a clean, persistent finish.

The Cuvée Brut is a versatile and festive wine, perfect for celebrations or simply enjoying on its own. It is widely praised for its quality and value, often punching above its price point. It’s a Champagne that embodies the house’s tradition and excellence, while remaining accessible and enjoyable for any occasion.
