The new vintage
In London this week was the energetic young cellar master, to whom the House has given carte blanche with this new range of champagnes and it sounds like the future could be just as exciting as this first release. This vintage takes us back 50 years, to 1971. Émilien Boutillat discovered this “forgotten gem” with his tasting committee when he arrived in the house:
"I spent long months sweeping the entire wine cellar to fully understand the champagne brand style. This cuvée appealed to me, we were stunned by its freshness and elegance despite its age".
With 2021 bottles being released, all numbered, the worldwide marketing of such an old champagne in such a volume is an extremely rare event. The cuvée forms a link between the different generations of oenologists who have created Piper-Heidsieck over the last 5 decades.
