Piper-Heidsieck Special Edition 1982 Bottle (0.75L) | Box
Special Edition by Piper-Heidsieck is a dialogue with time. After 50 years in the cellars, the first opus Special Edition 1971, disgorged in 2021, has been as much acclaimed by the wine critics as it has been appreciated by the public. Today, the Cellar Master of Piper-Heidsieck reveals the second opus of this collection: Piper-Heidsieck Special Edition 1982.
Drawing on the oenological heritage of the House, Émilien Boutillat offers a new youthfulness to the wines from the 1982 harvest. Kept on point for four decades, 3,000 bottles were tasted and dressed in January 2022 to give birth to Special Edition 1982, a reinterpretation of the Brut Sauvage 1982, the House’s mythical cuvée released in the 1990s.
Issued in ultra-limited series, each bottle has its own personality, shaped by the thirty-nine years of aging on the lees. This singularity provides a unique tasting experience that justifies the numbering of the boxes.
