The Making of Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Champagne

The Essentiel champagne from the House of Piper-Heidsieck is a multi-vintage cuvée that symbolizes the innovative spirit of the house. This wine is crafted from a subtle blend of the three emblematic grape varieties of the region: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. The grapes come from more than 50 different crus in Champagne.

The winemaking process is a reflection of the house's precision! After a manual harvest at perfect maturity, the grapes are slowly pressed to preserve the purity of the juices. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, ensuring optimal temperature control. Malolactic fermentation is decided on a case-by-case basis by the Cellar Master, Emilien Boutillat, thus guaranteeing the freshness and balance of each cuvée.

The Essentiel champagne is aged on lees for a minimum of 36 months, a deliberate choice that contributes to its complexity and aromatic richness. The Extra-Brut dosage at 5g/l enhances the natural freshness of this cuvée, offering a pure and elegant tasting experience.
