The Piper-Heidsieck Brut 'Ice Jacket' presents the house's iconic non-vintage Cuvée Brut wrapped in an innovative, high-fashion isothermal sleeve designed to keep the champagne perfectly chilled for up to two hours. This stylish, reusable accessory reflects the house's historic ties to glamour, cinema, and avant-garde design. Inside the jacket is the classic, structured Cuvée Brut, a masterclass in blending overseen by Chef de Cave Émilien Boutillat. Sourced from over 100 distinct crus across the Champagne region, the blend relies on Pinot Noir for structure, Pinot Meunier for fleshy fruitiness, and Chardonnay for elegance and brightness. A generous proportion of reserve wines are integrated to ensure consistency and depth, resulting in a vibrant Champagne defined by notes of crunchy green apple, juicy pear, citrus zest, and a warm, toasted brioche finish.
