Charles Heidsieck Champagne Brut Millésimé 2018

	Complex, powerful and extremely refined vintage Champagne
	From Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards
	Gastronomic and cellar-worthy

Description

An extremely cold winter, a brief heatwave in the summer, and autumnal conditions at the end of the ripening season—the 2013 vintage was one of extremes. The Brut Millésimé is therefore a ripe, generous, and powerful Champagne, with an invigorating freshness that guarantees the wine's elegance.

Traditionally, the Millesimé is made from approximately 60% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and 40% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs. The grapes are sourced exclusively from premier and grand cru vineyards. After primary fermentation, blending, and bottling, it is aged for a long time in the dazzling crayères. This gives the wine its exceptionally refined mousse and rich, complex, and developed character, entirely in keeping with the house's signature.


The 2013 is already heavenly and incredibly drinkable, yet it also possesses sufficient freshness and structure to mature in the bottle for another ten years or so and reveal even more. However, for the average Champagne lover, leaving this magnificent wine alone for so long will be a major challenge. An absolute top Champagne to enjoy on its own or to enjoy at the table, for example, with luxurious, creamy fish or poultry dishes.
