Piper Heidsieck Coteaux Champenois Blanc de Noirs Ambonnay 2022

Tyler Bennet — Interesting change from bubbles

8/10

My wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something different. It's a still wine made in Champagne which I didn't even know was a thing. Really well balanced — fruity but with a nice acidity that keeps it fresh. Would definitely buy again for a nice dinner at home.

Diana Cruz — Good but pricey

7/10

Look, this is a solid wine. Nice fruit, clean finish, clearly well made. But £69 for a still red? I've had Burgundy at that price that excited me more. If you're curious about Coteaux Champenois it's a good example, just manage your expectations on value.

Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered it on a whim. The mineral quality is genuinely striking and it's got this lovely persistence that just hangs around after each sip. Tracked a bottle down online the next week. One of my favourite discoveries this year.
