Description
A balanced and aromatic champagne
The producer
An essential reference for great Champagne wines, the Charles Heidsieck House maintains a prestigious heritage with two-thousand-year-old chalk pits. The pioneering Charles Heidsieck began to distinguish itself from the end of the 1980s through showcasing its multi-vintage Brut champagne’s exceptional capacity for aromatic evolution. In 1987, Charles Heidsieck was the first Champagne house to indicate its “cellaring” year to follow the evolution of the wine over time.
The vineyard
The Charles Heidsieck Champagne House owns a vineyard of around 60 hectares in Marne and Aube. This vineyard has received sustainable viticulture and High Environmental Value certifications. In addition to its own vineyard and through following the Champagne model, Charles Heidsieck supplements its vineyard with long-term supply contracts with rigorously selected wine-growers and cooperatives in the Champagne region.

Charles Heidsieck's Brut Millésimé 2005: Characteristics and tasting tips
The tasting
Colour
The colour is a beautiful golden hue. The effervescence boasts a great finesse.
Nose
The nose mixes fragrances of blueberry pie and plums with notes of marrons glacés, honey, chestnuts, pralines and hazelnuts.
Palate
Well-balanced, the palate is seduced by this champagne’s roundness, its smooth feel and its aromas of roasted apricots, dates and figs.
