The 1982 Piper-Heidsieck Hors-Serie from Champagne, France has earned 97 points from Claire Nesbitt (James Suckling).
This is showing aromas of ginger snaps, jasmine tea, yellow plums, chamomile and golden pears. Preserved lemons. Fantastic freshness and energy, with lemony acidity from blocked malo. Medium-bodied. So alive, with very fine, very soft bubbles. Long and spicy finish... - Claire Nesbitt, James Suckling (97 pts)
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, disgorged in January 2022 with a 4g/L dosage using a specific 1982 liqueur.

“This is showing aromas of ginger snaps, jasmine tea, yellow plums, chamomile and golden pears. Preserved lemons. Fantastic freshness and energy, with lemony acidity from blocked malo. Medium-bodied. So alive, with very fine, very soft bubbles. Long and spicy finish. Hors-Serie is a limited edition collection, a tribute to a former vintage extra brut Champagne (Sauvage) made in the 1980s. 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay. Disgorged in January 2022. 4g/L dosage, using specific 1982 liqueur. Delicious now.”
