Champagne Charles Heidsieck - Blanc des Millénaires 2006 Brut

Key words: Unique / Rare / Exceptional

Wine: What a slap! This Blanc des Millénaires 2006, carefully kept for 11 years in the cellar, is quite simply one of the greatest champagnes there is. Coming from 5 crus of the Côte des Blancs meticulously chosen by the Heidsieck house, the nose opens with full and generous notes of butter and cream. The bubble caresses the palate and gives way to a structured mouth. An endless length becomes clearer on a chalky, mineral and saline side, leading to salivation that only makes the taster crave: to go back there. A Grand Vin you will never forget once tasted!

The estate: The house Charles Heidsieck is born in 1851 following the departure of Charles-Camille from the family business (Piper-Heidsieck) in order to create his own structure. Driven by quality, it will notably be one of the great precursors on the American market and will brilliantly develop great sparkling wines with character. The property will remain in the family until the 1960s before passing under the bosom of the Cointreau group in the 1980s. Since 2010, the house has experienced a sublime revival thanks to the Descours family and has probably never been so well. With its own chalk pits and 85 hectares of its own, the brand can continue to aim high. Come and discover the sublime Charles Heidsieck champagnes, recognizable by their unctuous, gourmet and vinous side.
