PRESENTATION
CHARLES HEIDSIECK BLANC DES MILLÉNAIRES
THE FRUIT OF CENTURIES OF LABOUR AND SOME UNCOMPROMISING CHOICES
Alliance between great Chardonnay and extreme care in production. A pioneer in the crafting of these blends made entirely from Chardonnay, Charles Heidsieck took an interest in this category very early on, at a time when they were still on the fringes. These cuvées are extremely rare: seven of them only were produced in 30 years. This legendary wine takes its place in the progress of time, slowly revealing itself and remaining in our memories…
BLEND: 100% Chardonnay exclusively from 4 Grands crus and 1 Premier cru from the Côte des Blancs, selected for their ability to develop and fully express their opulence once matured: Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant, Vertus.

IN MOUTH
TASTING NOTESTO THE EYE: A pale gold colour with glints of light green typical of chardonnay grapes and in contrast to the previous 2006 vintage. TO THE NOSE: The saline minerality of the Côte des Blancs is all-pervading. We detect toasted and smoky notes. When swirled, fresh citrus notes appear: grapefruit, yuzu and quince. They bring a cheeky youthfulness to this fine nose, combined with creamy accents and subtil salt butter caramel notes.TO THE PALATE: The identity of the vintage is intertwined with a sharp and classy acidity. An enveloping texture is then revealed with accents of lemon meringue pie and subtle saline notes. Its generosity is very prominent and will continue to develop with ageing. The finish is long and full-bodied with silky sensations.
