The champagne Piper-Heidsieck Hors-Série (Réserve de Chef de Cave Bottle 2), vintage 1971 from the winery Champagne Piper-Heidsieck has been rated in 2021 by Anne Krebiehl with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir from the region Champagne in France.
Deep golden and bright. The nose has white pepper and duxelles of field mushroom pervaded by lemon zest and candied lemon peel. The citrus element is taking over on the palate with candied orange and tangerine peel, the body has inherent gentleness and smoothest mousse. The lemon freshness streams from a profound core of rich, citric chalkiness with that candied peel radiating its aromatic richness that combines Demerara sugar and sea salt. That gorgeous fresh field mushroom earthiness with its peppery verve remains a firm feature and shows the racy and sleek side of this gorgeous treasure. Endless length.
