From being a favourite of Marilyn Monroe (who claimed she liked a glass to wake up in the morning) to being the first ever bottle of Champagne to feature in a movie (the 1933 Laurel and Hardy film ‘Sons of the Desert’), it has long links to the world of cinema and in recent years, it has been the Champagne served at the Oscars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the house is owned by the same family as Charles Heidsieck, Rare Champagne, Biondi-Santi and Château La Verrerie, benefitting from the quality ethos that drives the continual investment in winemaking and vineyards from the Descours family. Presided over by a roll call of Champagne’s most admired winemakers, the quality of the wines never fails to shine at international competitions – at the 2019 International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition the 2012 Vintage was awarded the Vintage Champagne Trophy, while the 2019 International Wine Challenge saw the Non-Vintage Classic Blend Trophy awarded to the Essentiel Cuvée Réservée.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe House’s winemakers have won Sparkling Winemaker of the Year at the IWC more than any other house. Chef de Cave Émilien Boutillat is the current custodian, whose philosophy is simple: preserving the quality, elegance and generosity of style that has always characterised the Piper-Heidsieck wines. The Essentiel Cuvée Réservée Extra Brut and the Essentiel Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut are made in limited quantities exclusively for independent wine merchants and the hospitality trade . With their low dosage they are perfect for the table either for whetting the palate or serving with seafood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cuvée Sublime is one of Champagne’s best-loved Demi-Secs. With a dosage of 35 g\/l and a bright bite of acidity, it shows exquisite balance and generosity, making an elegant partner for desserts or cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCHAMPAGNE PIPER-HEIDSIECK\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"The official website of Champagne Piper-Heidsieck\" href=\"https:\/\/www.piper-heidsieck.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Like Champagne Piper-Heidsieck on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ChampagnePiperHeidsieck\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow Champagne Piper-Heidsieck on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/piperheidsieck\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"Follow Champagne Piper-Heidsieck on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/piper_heidsieck\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"champagne-piper-heidsieck-cuvee-sublime-demi-sec-gift-boxed","title":"Champagne Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Sublime Demi-Sec (Gift Boxed)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePiper-Heidsieck's Cuvée Sublime is on of Champagne's best loved Demi-Secs. The Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay grapes for the 'Cuvée Sublime' blend are sourced from over 50 carefully selected and sustainably farmed 'crus' in the Champagne sub-regions of Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Aube and Vallée de la Marne. The grapes from each separate 'cru' were vinified separately to preserve their unique characters and allow for maximum blending options. The grapes were very gently pressed to yield a very clear juice and then the first fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks. Once complete, the wines were racked and underwent full malolactic fermentation. At this point the wines were blended with at least 25% reserve wines, and then bottled with selected yeasts added to begin the second fermentation. The wine was kept on its lees for a minimum of three years before disgorgement, when a dosage of 35g\/l was added. Pale gold in colour. On the nose, the 'Cuvée Sublime' reveals complex aromas of tropical fruits and roasted pineapple alongside notes of vanilla, caramelised pear and freshly toasted brioche. A vibrant acidity on the palate perfectly balances the sweetness and a fine-beaded mousse carries the flavours onto the lingering finish.[#intro]One of Champagne's best loved Demi-Secs this is an elegant partner for desserts or cheeses...[\/intro]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Piper-Heidsieck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32154692780099,"sku":"NVPIPERSUBLIME-1","price":53.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/CuveeSublimeBottle.jpg?v=1604236367"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/collections\/Collection_Image_3e718f9b-fd7e-4fdd-b832-50548d545fd4.jpg?v=1602349025","url":"https:\/\/hic.wine\/collections\/champagne-piper-heidsieck-reims.oembed","provider":"Hic!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
