Piper-Heidsieck Unveils Brut Rosé Champagne

Piper-Heidsieck has introduced a new version to its portfolio: Brut Rosé.

This blended rosé champagne is meant to mark the next chapter in the House’s rosé evolution, offering a modern expression that reflects today’s consumers, while building on the personality of its predecessor, Rosé Sauvage.

Made by chief winemaker Emilien Boutillat upon his arrival at the House, the new Piper-Heidsieck Brut Rosé is a blend of 50% pinot noir — including 15% still red wine sourced primarily from the Les Riceys (a commune renown for producing expressive rosé wines, according to the winery) — 25% chardonnay and 25% meunier. The grapes are sourced from dry-farmed vineyards and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

The result is a Champagne that stays true to Piper-Heidsieck’s signature style, the House says, while delivering a more fruit-forward, vibrant and intense profile.

“The Brut Rosé was created in the elegant style that Piper-Heidsieck is known for — with a vibrant twist,” says Boutillat. “With its intense red fruit notes, Brut Rosé is the rosé for true epicureans. It can be enjoyed at any occasion.”

This new release comes in contemporary new packaging with a pale pink label and foil.

Aromas include wild strawberries, blood orange, black cherry and blackberry jam, the House says, with floral notes of rose petals and fresh almonds.

Brut Rosé pairs with a variety of seasonal dishes, including grilled salmon, seared sirloin, roasted eggplant and barbecue beef brochettes, according to the producer.

Piper-Heidsieck Brut Rosé is available now nationwide and online at Noble Wine Merchants, with a suggested retail price of $74 per 750-ml. bottle.
