Piaff’s branding could also be on the plain aspect, however whereas the bottles might not look it, these Champagnes are top-shelf choices each at residence and right here within the U.S. Newly obtainable from importer Foley Household Wines, we not too long ago took a spin by all three non-vintage wines Piaff provides.
NV Champagne Piaff Brut – Touched flippantly with sweetness, pears and apples cleared the path right here throughout a delightfully fruity expertise that’s tempered by reasonable, bready yeast parts. Hints of almond paste and a be aware of baking spice spherical issues out, whereas the end sees touches of stone fruit earlier than retreating a bit right into a considerably extra distant, leathery character. The wine gives a stable base upon which to develop, on par with most nonvintage choices available on the market. B+ / $75
NV Champagne Piaff Brut Rose – Much less effusive and fruity than you’d suppose from the intense pink hue, this wine layers on dried florals and hibiscus notes, then wanders towards notes of almond butter and baked apples. Mild citrus within the type of sweetened grapefruit pulp and a few lemon curd permeates throughout the creamy texture of the physique given a little bit of time in glass. Enduring florals truly tamp down the end a bit, retaining the extra attention-grabbing fruit notes in test. B+ / $110
NV Champagne Piaff Blanc de Blancs – Presumably 100% chardonnay, however not formally disclosed. A really wealthy and creamy Champagne, this comes throughout with austerity and age, like a well-tempered classic providing. Nicely-structured with fantastic bubbles, the wine has a creamy effervescence, bursting with notes of lemon curd, orange marmalade, and marzipan, all as if overwhelmed right into a cake batter. Flippantly peachy on the end, with mild, lingering overtones of yeast and fresh-baked bread. Excellent stuff that showcases the true energy of chardonnay. A / $210
