Piper-Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage Brut Champagne

Piper-Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage Brut is a bold, richly-flavored rosé Champagne with an extra dose of Pinot Noir and dark-berried intensity. It delivers vibrant red-fruit richness, striking structure and refined elegance—perfect for those who enjoy a rosé with character and depth, not just delicate blush tones.

Origins & Craftsmanship
From the storied house of Piper‑Heidsieck in Reims, Champagne, France (founded in 1785), this rosé is crafted with a notably high proportion of Pinot Noir—drawn especially from the prestigious red-wine village of Les Riceys. The blend includes approximately 50–55% Pinot Noir, augmented by reserve wines (minimum 25%) and aged on the lees for at least 24 months. After disgorgement it receives a final maturation period before release. The dosage is set at about 8 g/L, keeping it in the Brut category while allowing the rich fruit and Pinot character to shine.

Tasting Profile

• Nose: A deep rosé-gold colour leads into aromas of wild strawberries, black cherries, blackberry jam and blood orange. Beneath the fruit lies subtle notes of liquorice, tea leaves and exotic saffron / smoked spice.

• Palate: Medium-full bodied for a rosé Champagne, the palate offers ripe red and dark berries (cherry, blackcurrant), bright citrus peel (pink grapefruit, blood orange) and a firm core of Pinot structure—firm yet polished. Hints of peppery spice and licorice seed add depth mid-palate.

• Finish: Long, structured and elegant. The finish leaves devils-food cherry, dried cranberry, a trace of licorice root and fine mineral chalk. The acidity remains fresh and the mousse refined, giving the wine energy and length rather than heaviness.

Quick Overview

"There's lovely texture and integration to this vinous rosé, which displays nut-tinged flavors of grilled plum, black cherry preserves, cream, toasted brioche and sweet smoke. Long and mouthwatering, with a lingering, spice-tinged finish." Wine Spectator 93 Points
