The wine is aged in mid-toasted French oak for three years: 70 percent in 20 to 50 hectolitre casks; 30 percent in barriques. ...

Soft pressing followed by slow fermentation at a low temperature & bottling commences in March. The Moscato d' Asti is a sweet wine, rich in fruit scents, soft & alluring. It is a clear, bright glossy gold yellow colour with a ripe fruit & acacia flower bouquet. On the palate, the wine is soft & sweet, but with a definite strength. ...

The nose reveals a beautiful alchemy with an elegant blend of botanicals. The herbal notes of juniper & angelica are followed by subtle notes of fresh cucumber.

A charming wine with delicate & enchanting accents. It gives an impression of youth & vigour but also tenderness & serenity. The ultimate in refinement. Based on a blend of about fifty crus; the same approach to blending as that of the Brut Cuvee, with the addition of a proportion of red Champagne wine, which gives this wine not only a style typical of Piper-Heidsieck but also a distinctive colour & fruity taste. The harmony of the blend develops during a long maturing process lasting at least thirty months in the Piper-Heidsieck chalk cellars. It can be drunk as an aperitif & served at a cocktail party, garden reception, an all-night party lasting until dawn, an intimate tete-a-tete or a gathering of friends. It is also ideal for a sophisticated dinner party. In the kitchen, it can be used to prepare fish & chicken, & desserts based on red fruit. A carefully studied simplicity that will enable you to express a spontaneity full of charm. An intense colour, a clear & deep pink, whilst on the nose, the first impression is fresh, suggesting the high spirit & vivacity typical of the Piper-Heidsieck style. It has a strong aroma of red fruit, dominated by the Morello cherry. This is followed by a fragrant harmony of citrus fruit, mandarins & blood oranges. The final impression leaves a hint of cinnamon. The palate is lively, generous
- an intense wine. Its freshness is expressed by the slight tartness of red fruit, which then mellows with the aromas of macerated fruit & red plums. The final sensation is exuberant & warm.

Flavours of nearly caramelised pineapple flambee & pastries come to the fore. The finish evokes mild spices such as vanilla & cinnamon to create a wine presenting a subtle balance of gourmet warmth & freshness. Sublime, the birth of a gourmet champagne.
