About the Wine:
A blended Ros added to the great PIPER-HEIDSIECK Cuve Brut classic blend is a generous champagne. A great, not so classic, structured, full-bodied Champagne, with more than just a hint of red fruits and elaborated with a majority of Pinots Noirs, wines from over 100 crus, and Pinots Meuniers from the Grande et Petite Montagne de Reims.
Tasting Notes
Sight: A flamboyant, scarlet red robe a recognisable signature. Delicate and lively effervescence.
Nose:
A rich and expressive red fruit nose blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry and Gariguette strawberry, freshened with citrus, mandarin and blood orange. A finish lifted with paprika and saffron.
Palate:
A brisk, original and juicy wine which simultaneously offers black cherry, blackberry, pink grapefruit and blood orange notes. This structure and fruitiness is enriched with warm, spicy notes of Espelette pepper, tea and liquorice.
Ratings & Reviews
"This ros is a light garnet color, with expressive flavors of mulled cherry, mandarin orange peel and smoke, with an aromatic hint of herb riding the satiny mousse. Offers a firm, well-spiced finish. Enjoy this with food, perhaps duck breast. Drink now through 2021. 2,650 cases imported." AN (Apr 30, 2017)
91 Points - Antonio Galloni's Vinous:
"(55% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay; no dosage; L130629 3872): Dark, lurid pink--almost red, actually. Ripe red berries, cherry pit and tangerine on the deeply scented nose and in the mouth. In a plush, open-knit style, but with dusty mineral and bitter quinine notes adding back-end cut and grip. Rich yet dry and taut, finishing with very good thrust and echoing minerality." - Josh Raynolds (Jan 2015)
90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The NV Ros Sauvage Brut has a dark salmon color (thanks to the 25% of red wine) and offers an intense, aromatic, almost meaty bouquet of red fruits (red currant, cherries) along with earthy, chalky and yeasty brioche flavors. Vinous indeed on the nose! On the palate, this is a very clear, fresh and aromatic Ros that comes a long as a sparkling red wine like Trollinger. It's so charming, round and fresh but also dry and well structured. The finish is clear, dry and cleansing, just gorgeous. This is a perfect Champagne to be served with fish, white meat and even barbeque. Tasted from Lot L1702547055 in November 2017." - Stephan Reinhardt (30th Nov 2017)
90 Points - James Suckling:
"Brambly berry fruits with a raspberry and strawberry edge amid toasty autolysis complexity. The palate has a bold, fresh and crisp feel, with tart red berries. Drink now." - (October 4, 2017)
