    One vintage, Two Personalities: a Perspective on Time with the Hors-Série 1982 Twins

    After launching Hors-Série 1971 in 2021, Piper-Heidsieck Champagne brings the new Hors-Série vintage 1982 for a priority launch at city’super.

    The wine story:
    Year 1982 was auspicious in both quality and quantity. A mild spring followed by a hot, dry summer promoted optimal grape growth. The harvest in September proved it a spirited vintage. The Cellar Master wanted to demonstrate how different ageing styles can enhance a vintage’s character, and what the passing of time can bring to a wine — by making two contrasting twins, Hors-Série 1982 and Brut Sauvage 1982.

    Hors-Série 1982
    Aged on lees for 39 years and disgorged in 2022. Presents quite young, luscious notes of kumquats, dried pineapple, and fresh quince, with a touch of ginger and Earl Grey tea. Smoky accents of toast balance out the wine’s minerality.

    Brut Sauvage 1982
    Aged on lees for 9 years, disgorged in 1992 then bottle-aged for 30 years. Bundles of dried and candied fruit, brioche and frangipane accompanied by touch of vanilla, nutmeg and honey.

    These 1982 twins are presented in a Diptyque gift box. Global limited edition of 500 sets. Hors-Série 1982 is also on sale as a solo.
