Item Number: 264
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
92 Points - Wine Spectator
"Plenty of graphite and honey flavors mark this well-structured, effusive Champagne. Lemon, bread dough and vanilla accents are also present. Finishes with a tactile sensation around the gums. The grapes are 37 percent each of Pinot Noir and Meunier, plus 26 percent Chardonnay. Chef de cave Regis Camus draws deeper from the reserve wines for this blend, to differentiate it from its fresher, more youthful sibling, Piper Heidsieck Cuvee Brut NV. It's mostly a 2000 base, with 40 percent reserve wines from vintages ranging from 1998 to 1990. Drink now through 2010
