Wine Spectator awarded this non-vintage Champagne a score of 92, noting its "finely balanced and fresh" profile. The review highlights the delicate bead that carries flavors of "ripe black cherry and green apple fruit," complemented by "a fragrant mix of lime blossom, saffron, toasted almond, and ground coffee details." This blend of varietals creates a complex and nuanced tasting experience.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also provided a favorable review, with William Kelley giving it a score of 90. Kelley describes the Champagne as offering "attractive aromas of fresh pears, green apple, dried flowers, and subtle hints of wheat toast and fresh bread." On the palate, it is "medium to full-bodied, generous but nicely focused, with an enveloping core of fruit, ripe but racy acids, and a nicely balanced finish." Kelley suggests that this cuvée will evolve gracefully over the next decade.

Jeb Dunnuck also reviewed the NV Piper Heidsieck Brut Champagne positively, awarding it a score of 91. He emphasized its "crisp and clean" nature, with a "classic bouquet of orchard fruits, toasted bread, and a touch of minerality." Disgorged in March of the review year, Dunnuck praises its "beautifully textured" body, "good density," and "clean, crisp finish," making it a high-quality Champagne suitable for enjoyment over the next 5-7 years.

Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling both rated this Champagne at 90. Wine Enthusiast highlights its balance "between a soft Brut character and crisper lemon flavors," resulting in an "open and easy" wine with a "fine bite of acidity at the end." Meanwhile, James Suckling points out the "attractively fruity nose of raspberries, baked apples, pie crust, and lemon curd." He describes it as "medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and lively bubbles," emphasizing its clean finish and noting that the base wine is from 2019 with 32% reserve wine and a dosage of 9g/L. Suckling also mentions that it is crafted from organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification.

In summary, the NV Piper Heidsieck Brut Champagne is a balanced, fresh, and attractively complex offering, praised for its fine bead, nuanced flavors, and potential for graceful aging.
