Piper-Heidsieck Hors Serie 1982-
This champagne has always been stored cold and dark.
Piper-Heidsieck's roots trace back to Florens-Louis Heidsieck, who created the original company of Heidsieck & Co. Christian Heidsieck joined the venture alongside Guillaume Piper and once Florens-Louis died in 1828, the duo decided to continue the adventure side by side, founding Champagne Piper-Heidsieck.
In 2011 both Charles Heidsieck and Piper-Heidsieck were bought by EPI Group headed by Christopher Descours, he has pumped significant finance into the companies allowing them to grow their vineyard holdings, grape purchasing and production. The brands are now growing their sales fast after many decades of decline. Today, production occurs alongside sister company Charles Heidsieck in an ultra-modern functional wine-making facility on the southern outskirts of Reims. Their characteristics differ quite considerably, with Piper opting for a fruitier and lighter style of base wines.
In autumn 2021, Piper-Heidsieck launched their new series of Champagne "Hors-Série" and the first release was Vintage 1971. November 2022 sees the release of the next Hors-Série, which is Vintage 1982. Hors-Série 1982 has been disgorged in the spring of 2022 after 39 years of storage on lees by current cellar master Emilien Boutillat.

The grapes, all varieties included, were in excellent condition and stood out for their nesse, equilibrium and grandeur, hallmarks of a great year in Champagne.

Piper-Heidsieck Hors Serie 1982 -
Questo champagne è sempre stato conservato al freddo e al buio.
Le radici di Piper-Heidsieck risalgono a Florens-Louis Heidsieck, che fondò l'azienda originale Heidsieck & Co. Christian Heidsieck si unì all'impresa insieme a Guillaume Piper e, dopo la morte di Florens-Louis nel 1828, i due decisero di continuare l'avventura fianco a fianco, fondando Champagne Piper-Heidsieck.
Nel 2011, sia Charles Heidsieck che Piper-Heidsieck sono stati acquistati dal Gruppo EPI, guidato da Christopher Descours, che ha investito ingenti risorse finanziarie nelle aziende, consentendo loro di ampliare i vigneti, l'acquisto di uve e la produzione. I marchi stanno ora registrando una rapida crescita delle vendite dopo decenni di declino. Oggi, la produzione avviene insieme alla consociata Charles Heidsieck, in un modernissimo e funzionale stabilimento di vinificazione nella periferia sud di Reims. Le loro caratteristiche differiscono notevolmente, con Piper che opta per uno stile di vini base più fruttato e leggero.
Nell'autunno del 2021, Piper-Heidsieck ha lanciato la sua nuova serie di Champagne "Hors-Série" e la prima uscita è stata la vendemmia 1971. A novembre 2022 verrà lanciata la successiva Hors-Série, la vendemmia 1982. La Hors-Série 1982 è stata sboccata nella primavera del 2022 dopo 39 anni di conservazione sui lieviti dall'attuale maestro di cantina Emilien Boutillat.
Meteo: I risultati della vendemmia del 1982 sono considerati tra i più eccezionali mai visti nella storia della Champagne. Le uve sono cresciute in condizioni meteorologiche costanti. I risultati sono stati impeccabili e il raccolto abbondante! Le uve, tutte le varietà comprese, erano in condizioni eccellenti e si sono distinte per la loro finezza, equilibrio e grandiosità, tratti distintivi di una grande annata in Champagne.

Ce champagne a toujours été conservé au frais et à l'abri de la lumière.
Les racines de Piper-Heidsieck remontent à Florens-Louis Heidsieck, qui créa la société originale Heidsieck & Co. Christian Heidsieck rejoint l'aventure aux côtés de Guillaume Piper et après la mort de Florens-Louis en 1828, le duo décide de poursuivre l'aventure côte à côte, en fondant le Champagne Piper-Heidsieck.
En 2011, Charles Heidsieck et Piper-Heidsieck ont été rachetés par le groupe EPI, dirigé par Christopher Descours. Ce dernier a investi des fonds importants dans les entreprises, leur permettant de développer leur patrimoine viticole, leurs achats de raisins et leur production. Après plusieurs décennies de déclin, les marques connaissent aujourd'hui une croissance rapide de leurs ventes. Aujourd'hui, la production est assurée conjointement avec sa société sœur, Charles Heidsieck, dans une vinification ultra-moderne et fonctionnelle, située dans la banlieue sud de Reims. Leurs caractéristiques diffèrent sensiblement, Piper optant pour des vins de base plus fruités et plus légers.
À l'automne 2021, Piper-Heidsieck a lancé sa nouvelle série de Champagne « Hors-Série » et la première sortie était le Millésime 1971. Novembre 2022 voit la sortie du prochain Hors-Série, qui est le Millésime 1982. Hors-Série 1982 a été dégorgé au printemps 2022 après 39 ans de stockage sur lies par l'actuel maître de chai Emilien Boutillat.
Météo : Les vendanges 1982 sont considérées comme parmi les plus exceptionnelles jamais observées dans l'histoire de la Champagne. Les raisins ont poussé dans des conditions climatiques stables. Les résultats ont été irréprochables et la récolte abondante ! Les raisins, tous cépages confondus, étaient en excellent état sanitaire et se sont distingués par leur finesse, leur équilibre et leur grandeur, signes distinctifs d'une grande année champenoise.
