Piper-Heidsieck Hors-Série 1982 — a mature, late-released vintage of honeyed depth and toasted finesse.
From Piper-Heidsieck, founded in 1785, the Hors-Série draws on the house's cellar reserves. This 1982 vintage — a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier — rests through extended lees ageing before release, emerging complex, creamy and profound.
Medium to full-bodied with fine bubbles and an elegant structure. Long lees ageing brings honey, almond and a hint of caramel, balanced by crisp acidity and a long, lingering finish.
