      Description

      Charles Heidsieck's Millésime 2012 is an expressive, gourmet champagne. A cuvée driven by a rich vintage. It's a cuvée that's perfect as an aperitif, but also as an accompaniment to gourmet dishes.

      The 2012 vintage is rich and intense, with powerful aromas. It produced grapes of great aromatic ripeness and tension.

      This champagne is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, with grapes coming exclusively from terroirs classified as Premiers and Grands Crus. After vinification and aging in stainless steel tanks, the wine was bottled. The bottles were then aged for 8 years in the house cellars. After disgorging, the 2012 Charles Heidsieck Vintage was dosed at 8g/l (Brut).

      This cuvée has a brilliant gold color, with slightly amber highlights. Its bubbles are fine and lively.

      On the nose, Millésime 2012 Charles Heidsieck opens with notes of candied citrus, ripe yellow fruit and dried fruit.

      On the palate, it's a champagne with an elegant, round attack. In the mid-palate, the wine becomes greedier, still carried by iodine tension and great minerality. The finish evolves on a gourmand register, with notes of caramel and citrus fruit.

      Charles Heidsieck's Millésime 2012 is the perfect accompaniment to smoked poultry whites, roast monkfish with Serrano sausage, full-bodied jus and oyster mushrooms, or mille-feuilles with salted butter caramel and roasted hazelnut slivers.
