Charles Heidsieck

Blanc de Blancs | Bottle 75cl - Box

Description

Presented in an elegant white and gold box, Champagne Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs asserts its refined, mineral identity. This non-vintage cuvée is a tribute to Chardonnay, a grape variety that the House has mastered with virtuosity since its beginnings. Between crystalline tension, enveloping softness and aromatic complexity, this champagne seduces with its subtle, luminous signature.

An exceptional Chardonnay sublimated by time

This Blanc de Blancs is a blend of 15 emblematic Chardonnay crus, among the most sought-after in the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Sézannais and Montgueux regions. Each wine is chosen for its complementary qualities: minerality, generosity, freshness or roundness.

• 100% Chardonnay - for pure, vibrant expression.
• 25% reserve wines - aged 5 years on average, for aromatic patina.
• Prolonged ageing of 3 to 4 years in thousand-year-old crayères, well beyond appellation standards.

This champagne combines the vivacity of the young wines and the roundness of the reserves to deliver a perfectly balanced cuvée, true to the Charles Heidsieck style.

Presentation of Elise Losfelt, Cellar Manager

"Ideal as an aperitif, this champagne brilliantly manages to make two opposites coexist: the tension and freshness of young Chardonnays, combined with the generous silkiness of Charles."

Tasting the cuvée

• Color

  Blanc de Blancs is a crystalline pale gold, punctuated by silver highlights. The effervescence is fine and continuous.

• Nose

  The nose opens with notes of vine peach and candied citrus, accompanied by hints of lime blossom, honeysuckle and fresh almond. A zesty hint of tangerine and yellow lemon reinforces the freshness.

• Palate

  The palate combines tension and silkiness. The attack is pure, straightforward, with fine mineral energy. The finish, creamy and saline, prolongs the aromas in a fine balance.
