PIPER-HEIDSIECK is owned by private French luxury goods EPI headed by Christopher Descours.〔 (French Luxury Firm Buys Charles Heidsieck and Piper Heidsieck ) Wine Spectator June 6, 2011〕 ==Champagne== PIPER-HEIDSIECK currently produces a variety of different champagnes: * Cuvée Brut (non-vintage) is a classic, structured, full-bodied and bursting with fruit Champagne. The blend is composed of a majority of Pinot Noir, incorporating more than 100 crus from around the Champagne region and Pinot Meunier from the Grande et Petite Montagne de Reims region. ''Tasting notes:'' A structured, full-bodied and franc wine. A juicy, fleshy pear and golden apple texture. The finish narrows to citrus and grapefruit flavors. A wine with great fruit, a good mouthfeel and a harmonious balance. * Rosé Sauvage (non-vintage) is a blended Rosé added to the PIPER-HEIDSIECk Cuvée Brut classic blend. It is a great, not so classic, structured, full-bodied Champagne, with more than just a hint of red fruits and elaborated with a majority of Pinot Noir wine from over 100 crus, and Pinot Meunier from the ''Grande et Petite Montagne de Reims'' region. ''Tasting notes:'' A brisk, original and juicy wine which simultaneously offers black cherry, blackberry, pink grapefruit and blood orange notes. This structure and fruitiness is enriched with warm, spicy notes of Espelette pepper, tea and liquorice. * Cuvée Sublime A demi-sec champagne with a maturation period extended by a year with a generous dosage. ''Tasting notes:''It is a lively attack on candied citrus fruits and roasted pineapple. A duality which balances itself between smoothness and juiciness - cinnamon and vanilla-roasted pear. A structured, full-bodied, melt-in-the-mouth wine. * 2006 Vintage Brut A special release from 2006, a year considered exceptional by PIPER-HEIDSIECK, marked by highly contrasted weather that offered a contrasted expression of the grapes. Composed of 49% Pinot Noir, which was exceptionally intense this year and 51% Chardonnay, which was ready for long maturation. ''Tasting notes:''A particularly dense and structured wine, whose generous structure is plush with candied orange peel, highlighted with a touch of smoked tea and toasted almonds. An incredibly long finish; balanced and elegantly charming. * Rare Vintage 2002 A prestige cuvee from the 2002 vintage - structured, full-bodied and bursting with fruit. Elaborated with 70% Chardonnay from the ''Montagne de Reims'' region and complemented with 30% Pinot Noir from the same region. The wine is a blend of 17 crus which matured over seven years in the House's cellars. ''Tasting notes:''It is a voluptuous delicacy with meringue notes. Subtle nuances evoke distant lands - mint tea, lime, kumquat and exotic fruits such as pineapple and candied ginger. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piper-Heidsieck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
