Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

I’m always a fan of the regular NV Piper- Heidsieck but this 2012 vintage is quite sensational. And great value at $79.95. A blend of 52% Pinot Noir for mouthfilling richness and 48% Chardonnay for clean lemony notes, it’s a complete stunner without heaviness but beautiful intensity and length. I recommend tuna tartare with wasabi cream and watercress. @wrightwineblog

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
