Charles HeidsieckBlanc de Blancs Half-bottle (0.375L) | Naked Bottle
Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs Half Bottle 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 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.
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.
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.
To be enjoyed within 7 years.
Blend of 100% Chardonnay, 75% of which are wines of the year and 25% reserve wines with an average age of 5 years.
Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs is a selective blend of 10 Chardonnay vintages, the most sought-after grapes in the region, mostly from the Côte des Blancs (Oger, Vertus), completed by Villers-Marmery, Trépail, Vaudemange and Montgueux. An exceptional maturation of more than 4 years on lees.
