The Story

The vintage Piper is a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes which have elegantly mingled to create this deep, complex, fruit-driven champagne, abound with fresh, lively notes of citrus and a clean, zesty finish. The latest vintage offering is lush long and packed with finesse. Be sure to have a bottle or two on hand for the races.  
 

What Piper-Heidsieck has been able to achieve in the past decade or so is nothing short of sensational. Winemaking responsibilities fall in the exceptionally competent hands of Chef de Cave, Régis Camus. Régis, considered a ‘god’ like figure in the region, was crowned Sparkling Winemaker of the year by the International Wine Challenge in 2013 for the eighth time!

Vintage 1921

The 1921 vintage in Champagne is remembered as an outstanding year that yielded wines of remarkable quality and character. 

The weather conditions in Champagne during the 1921 growing season played a pivotal role in shaping the exceptional character of the vintage. The year began with a cold winter, followed by a spring with ideal conditions for flowering. Summer was warm and dry, with consistent sunshine, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and fully. The harvest took place under clear skies, resulting in grapes of extraordinary quality.

Champagne 1921: The 1921 Champagne vintage is widely regarded as one of the greatest in the region's history. These Champagnes are known for their remarkable aging potential and complexity.

Appearance: The 1921 Champagnes typically exhibit a pale golden color with a fine and persistent effervescence, showcasing their freshness and vitality even after many years of aging.

Nose: On the nose, the 1921 Champagnes offer an alluring bouquet with aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, hints of toasted brioche, and a subtle honeyed note. There is a pronounced mineral character that adds depth and complexity to the aromatic profile.

Palate: In the mouth, the 1921 Champagnes are marked by their remarkable depth, finesse, and balance. The bubbles are finely integrated, providing a creamy and luxurious mouthfeel. The acidity remains vibrant, lending a refreshing quality to the wines. Flavors of ripe orchard fruits, honeyed notes, and hints of hazelnut intermingle harmoniously, creating a profound and enduring finish. These wines are exceptionally well-balanced, showcasing the elegance and longevity that Champagne is renowned for.

Overall Impressions: The Champagne 1921 vintage is considered a legendary year in the region's history. These wines have aged gracefully and continue to captivate wine enthusiasts with their complexity and character. They are a testament to the exceptional winemaking prowess of Champagne and offer a unique opportunity to experience a moment in history when Champagne truly sparkled.

Written Notes

Just as in the case of the 28, I have only come across a half-bottle. And one should avoid those when it is a matter of older champagnes. Despite the almost total absence of bubbles, this wine is subtle, long and replete with honey. Give me a magnum!
