Rare Vintage 2002 Champagne Brut

Short Description

Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir exclusively in a variable proportion depending on the years chosen, this great champagne comes exclusively from Grands and Premiers Crus.

The color is citrine yellow gold, limpid.

The nose: wide range of citrus fruits and dried fruits such as hazelnuts, almonds and figs. A tiny touch of iodine accentuates the subtle salinity with a finish on white peppers, smoked tea and a fine touch of cocoa. In the mouth: notes of meringue, tea, lime, kumquat with hints of pineapple and candied ginger.

Full of promise and pleasure on a scallop carpaccio in oil flavored with white Alba truffle or pan-fried scallops in sesame oil. Sumptuous with Thai caviar or salt and pepper prawns.

It was Florens-Louis Heidsieck, originally from Westphalia, who founded the linen and Champagne wine trading house Heidsieck et Cie in 1785 in Reims. He even had the privilege of presenting his wine to the Queen of France Marie-Antoinette.

When Florens-Louis Heidsieck died in 1828, it was his nephew Christian Heidsieck who continued the activity by partnering with Henri-Guillaume Piper. The house takes off but in 1835 Christian Heidsieck died and it was then that his wife remarried to Henri-Guillaume Piper who gave his name to the house by now calling it Piper-Heidsieck.
