Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Brut NV
Reims, 12.0% alc., 15% Ch, 55% PN, 30% PM
Pale straw colour. Quite tight and fine on the nose with Pinot Noir aromas, and well-balanced autolysis yeast characters. Softish textures and creamy, with slightly sour and acid Pinot fruit, lighter autolysis, the palate has a slight grip, the acid rather pronounced, but with good length. 16.5-/20 RC Nov 05
