Delicious as an aperitif, this Champagne is also complex and rich enough to be enjoyed with the meal. It displays a shimmering golden hue, highlighted by delicate, vivacious and long-lasting bubbles, the direct result of the house's long and slow maturing process, which takes place in its famous chalk caves (known as crayères). The sophisticated harmony and luxuriously creamy texture are immediately notable. Clouds of heavenly bubbles put into high relief voluptuous notes of freshly baked brioche, toasted almond, and the richness of sun-ripened apricot, mango and plum/peach, with a touch of pistachio, macadamia, and Corton-Charlemagne-like minerality rising on the finish. An exceptional Champagne.
—Ben Giliberti, CW Director of Wine Education
The Charles Heidsieck NV Brut Réserve is elaborated with 150 different wines from most of 60 crus. This is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier with 50% of reserve wines. Disgorged in 2022 with a dosage of nine grams per liter, it has a delicate bouquet with aromas of orchard fruit, apricot, warm biscuits, praline, pastry and lemon hints. Medium to full-bodied, creamy and fleshy, the palate is charming with lively acids and a chalky finish. It’s approachable now but also evolving with grace.
