| NV Piper Heidsieck Champagne & Sparkling Wine "Rosé Sauvage Brut" (10/08) Winery: Piper Heidsieck Vintage: NV Wine Name/Vineyard: "Rosé Sauvage Brut" (10/08) Wine Category: Champagne & Sparkling Wine Grape blend: 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, & 15% Chardonnay Region: Champagne State or country: France Price: $50 Cases produced: unknown KWG Score: 90.6 (based on 3 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89.99-87) Review date: October 26, 2008 Wine Review: This rose colored Champagne from Piper Heidsieck opens with a light strawberry like bouquet. On the palate, this light bodied wine is nicely balanced, smooth, and elegant with dried cherry flavors and a hint of minerality. The finish is dry and refreshing, but subtle. They would pair it with broiled salmon or sushi. Enjoy - KWGTP Winemaker Notes: The attack is fresh, hinting at vivacity and passion which are characteristics of Piper-Heidsieck style. Strong aromas come to the fore, with red fruits, particularly Morello cherries, dominating. This leads to notes of citrus fruits, mandarin, and blood orange. The final impression introduces a hint of cinnamon. A spirited, lively, full wine. The rosé expresses the slight acidity of red fruit, then mellows and lingers with hints of strawberry, plum, blood orange and a welcome sensation of warmth. The final finish is warm and enthusiastic. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Piper Heidsieck NV Rose Sauvage Brut.
