NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Piper-Heidsieck Extra Dry Champagne is a delightful sparkling wine that offers a unique balance of sweetness and acidity.It is known for its vibrant and lively character, making it a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions.
On the nose, this Champagne displays enticing aromas of fresh green apples, citrus fruits, and hints of floral notes. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of ripe pears, lemon zest, and a touch of honey. The fine bubbles create a creamy texture, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
The Extra Dry designation may be a bit misleading, as this Champagne is actually slightly sweeter than a Brut. However, the sweetness is well-integrated and doesn't overpower the wine's overall elegance and complexity. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
Overall, Piper-Heidsieck Extra Dry Champagne is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced and flavorful sparkling wine.
