Trust your Taste
Plum, grapefruit and stewed quince meet brioche, acacia honey and grilled nuts in Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel. Freshness and a dry, structured finish give it plenty of definition. Try it if you enjoy Champagne with developed flavour and a precise, lively edge.

How this wine feels
This has some body and structure, with a clear fresh edge keeping the finish taut. Fruit shares the palate with brioche and nuts, rather than feeling lush or sweet. It is a good fit for someone who likes depth in a dry sparkling wine.
The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
How much presence and firmness the wine has in your mouth.
The drying, gripping feeling on your gums.
The fresh, mouth-watering edge of the wine.
Bitter, herbal or savoury character beyond the fruit.
How smooth and rounded the wine feels.
Ripe fruit character. This is not a sugar-sweetness rating.
Ripe fruit flavours can be present in dry wines. Sweet-Fruit Expression describes fruit character, not residual sugar.
