Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Millénaires

By / Wine + Drinks / June 24th, 2010 / 1

Fourth release of this Blanc de Blanc (100% Chardonnay) Champagne. Still very youthful, as witnessed by the green hue on the rim and the primary aromas/flavours of citrus, flowers, apple and anise. There are some aged brioche and hazelnut qualities, but they play in the background. All said, this wine has another 10 to 15 years ahead of it, and will probably score higher with time. Made for caviar or oysters!
