Charles Heidsieck

Blanc de Blancs Bottle (0.75L) | Naked Bottle

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs offers an explosive and voluptuous energy. This 100% Chardonnay champagne has an elegant tension. It brings together two  opposites : the tension and freshness of young Chardonnays on the one hand; the silkiness and long ageing on the other. It is mineral and silky, generous and fleshy. Its aromatic complexity is what makes Charles Heidsieck wines so famous.

    The House of Charles Heidsieck was one of the first Champagne Houses to make its passion for Chardonnays a reality by producing a Blanc de Blancs from the 1949 harvest. There are also some accounts of the existence of the single-vineyard wines of the Côte des Blancs produced by Charles Heidsieck in 1906… Through this 100% Chardonnay cuvée, reintroduced in 2018, two of the House’s skills come together: that of making great white wines, as well as the art of blending a wide selection of wines from different years and terroirs. The challenge is to make opposites coexist: the tension and freshness of young Chardonnays on the one hand; the silkiness and long ageing on the other. The Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs blend is made from the juice of the first press only and a fine selection of 10 Chardonnay plots, the most sought-after grapes in the region, expressing their freshness in a frank attack and a lively finish. Thanks to the 25% reserve wines and a prolonged maturation period of 3 to 4 years in the chalk cellars, the Blanc de Blancs Charles Heidsieck has a silky effervescence.

    To the eye

    The first impression is a crystalline pale gold with some reflections typical of the Chardonnay grape.

    On the nose

    Ripe Chardonnay aromas emerge: vine peach, candied citrus, with hints of lime, honeysuckle, fresh hazelnut. A second nose has subtle notes of mandarin and lemon.

    In the mouth

    Freshness and tension are wrapped up in this typically Charles generosity: the attack is frank, pure, without being aggresive with a smoothness that is almost atypical for a Blanc de Blancs that is often described as more tense than creamy. The well-balanced finish surprises with both minerality and salinity.

    Food & champagne pairings

    Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs is ideally paired with earthy flavours: Tomino cheese marinated in herbs with rocket salad, Veal escalope Milanese style (contrast type of match, freshness vs. fried butter).
    From the sea: Seafood platter, White fish tartar, White fish ceviche, Oysters, Shrimps.
    Cheese: Fresh cheese, fresh goat cheese.
    Or sweet notes such as Meringues with lime (agreement on sugar/acidity contrast), Panna Cotta "Mojito flavour" with lime and mint but without too much sugar and without rum.

    Ideal operating temperature

    To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.

    Potential of keeping

    To be enjoyed within 7 years.
