The Brut NV represents the epitome of the Piper-Heidsieck style:  a classic, well-structured, and fruit forward champagne.  Piper-Heidsieck carefully selects fruit from more than 100 of Champagne’s crus to blend the Brut NV.  This adds great complexity and dimension to the wine and allows the BOLD Piper- Heidsieck style to shine through.  A majority blend of Pinot Noir provides structure to the composition while Pinot Meunier expands the wine with its brilliant fruit expression and fleshiness and Chardonnay bring elegant tones and acidity. The precious reserve wines create a consistent flavor profile year and year.
