Piper-Heidsieck
For several years we have been producing reserve wines used in the production of our vintages. A portion of the harvested grapes that show great final note potential are stored for 2 to 3 years. These wines play an important role in the vintage blending process, representing more than half of their composition. More structured, they add a certain roundness and help support the Heidsieck & Co Monopole style. The house warehouse serves as a guideline for the cellar manager. This is why, at Heidsieck & Co Monopole, sourcing high-quality grape strains has always been the foundation on which its vintages are based. Very fine wines, its bruts are produced mainly from dark grape varieties, which give a beautiful structure and a wonderfully powerful aroma.
