A very creditable contribution to what has become an unfashionable genre is Piper-Heidsieck's NV Demi-Sec Cuvée Sublime, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of honeyed peaches, fresh pastry, nectarine and caramelized citrus. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core, racy acids and a fine mousse, concluding with a precise finish that avoids any suggestion of cloying sweetness despite its off-dry style. Expect it to sing with additional bottle age.

Technical Details
Description
Intense, elegant, unexpected... These three adjectives are a perfect description of our Cuvée Sublime. This Demi-Sec adaptation of our non-vintage blend has the well-rounded character of a fine wine. Generous and indulgent, it is almost creamy on the palate. The first rich, sweet mouthful will win you over.
Estate
The most awarded Champagne house of the Century! Steeped in history, innovation and excellence have been at the heart of Piper-Heidsieck since 1785 when Florens-Louis Heidsieck founded his Champagne House with the dream to create a ‘cuveé worthy of a queen’. That dream was realized when he boldly presented his first cuvee to Queen Marie Antoinette and she declared love at first sip. She quickly became the champagne’s first brand ambassador and when Henri-Guillaume Piper joined the Reims venture in 1815, he and Florens-Louis’ nephew Christian Heidsieck set out to promote the Champagne House’s reputation well beyond the borders of France. Today, Piper-Heidsieck is poured in over 100 countries and is the most awarded Champagne House of the century, with over 275 medals.
Tasting notes
Fragrances of vanilla, rum, tropical fruits and roasted pineapple gradually become unleashed. Intense flavors of cooked fruits, from gently flambéed pineapple and orange to slightly caramelized pear, delight the palate in a deeply smooth praline-lined embrace.
