WINE TALK
1
  • NV Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Brut - France, Champagne (11/3/2018)
    Day 1: Gorgeous NV. Creamy mouthfeel with citrus, spice, dough and charred pie crust. A vibrant wine with sharp acidity. Medium plus finish and at the amazing low price of only $33. 92 points
    Day 2: Very similar character from day 1 but picks up some nice perfume notes and dried apricots. Very good acidity on this wine. Not as good as day 1 but solid. 90 points
    Recommendation: Dink on day 1 and buy from a shop that moves through NV Champagne. This current NV selections is outstanding as some of the previous ones were sub 90 points. (92 pts.)

Is this the most underrated Champagne?

Had a bottle of this the other night. Agree that it’s terrific and underrated.

It may be under-rated but not as badly as Charles Heidsieck NV.

Sibling rivalry! :slight_smile:

BTW I think the vintage CH is a HUGE step up from the NV. At least the last vintage was (2008?)

Most underrated family of champagne?

This is back. I remember some mediocre NV offerings 3 or 4 years ago but this new version is case buy for me.
