Attractive aromas of apples,
pear tart, spices and some
candied ginger. Full-bodied
with fruit and bitter grapefruit
flavors. Tangy finish. Based on
the 2019 vintage with two
years on the lees.

Wine Spectator
There’s a broad-shouldered,
structured feel...sleek and
well-meshed overall,
integrating a spin of
citrusy acidity with flavors of
black currant and cherry fruit,
lemon curd and brioche.
Lightly spiced and creamy
through the lingering finish.
Notes
This new release from Piper Heidsieck is a refreshing Extra Brut with 5g/l of dosage. It is a blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 34% Pinot Meunier and 22% Chardonnay. Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel boasts a precise, accomplished and balanced profile. The nose delivers initial notes of plum, brioche, grapefruit and stewed quince, developing towards aromas of acacia honey and grilled nuts. "Essentiel reveals a complex, rich aromatic nose. Its precision and excellent balance make for perfect pairing with fine cuisine." - Emilien Boutillat, Chief Winemaker
