Charles Heidsieck

Blanc de Blancs | Half bottle 37,5cl

Description

Offered here in half-bottles, the Blanc de Blancs cuvée from Charles Heidsieck is a champagne that marries the freshness of Chardonnays with the gourmet style of the Rémois house.

A blend of 75% vintage wines and 25% reserve wines, it's a cuvée that manages the feat of making opposites coexist: the tension and freshness of young Chardonnays on the one hand, and the silkiness and "Charles Heidsieck" patina on the other.

The Blanc de Blancs Charles Heidsieck blend is made up of chardonnays from the terroirs of Oger and Vertus (Côte des Blancs), Villers-Marmery, Trépail, Vaudemange and Montgueux.

This cuvée has been aged for 4 years in the company's cellars, and is proportioned as Brut (10g/l).

Blanc de Blancs Charles Heidsieck has a crystalline pale gold color with green highlights.

On the nose, it offers notes of vine peach and candied citrus, with hints of lime blossom, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnuts. The second nose reveals subtle aromas of tangerine and lemon.

On the palate, Blanc de Blancs Charles Heidsieck offers a clean, pure, smooth attack, followed by a creamy, silky touch. The balanced finish is surprisingly mineral and saline.

This cuvée Blanc de Blancs from Charles Heidsieck is the perfect accompaniment to a seafood platter, white fish ceviche, fresh goat's cheese or lime meringues for a sweet/acid balance.
