Why You'll Love It
A wonderfully accomplished vintage Champagne, with rich orchard fruit, toasted notes and creamy texture framed by incisive freshness. The 2013 vintage gives an unusual combination of generosity and precision, ideal with fine seafood or a proper dinner rather than simply an aperitif.
About The Producer
Founded in Reims in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the original 'Champagne Charlie', Charles Heidsieck is one of Champagne's smallest and most respected Grandes Marques. Charles built the house on an unusual combination of adventurous ambition, close relationships with growers and patient blending. Its extraordinary Roman-era chalk cellars, the crayères beneath Reims, provide ideal conditions for extended bottle ageing. The house is particularly admired for the depth of its reserve-wine library and the generous, beautifully textured style these mature wines bring to the blends. Alongside its distinguished Brut Réserve, Charles Heidsieck makes exceptional vintage Champagne, Chardonnay-focused Blanc de Blancs and the rare, ambitious Champagne Charlie. It is a benchmark for what time, thoughtful selection and skilled blending can achieve.
Winemaking Information
Brut Millésimé 2013 is a blend of 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay from ten Grand and Premier Cru villages, including Oger, Chouilly, Verzy and Aÿ. The 2013 season combined a late start and brief summer heatwaves, giving ripe, structured fruit. Traditional-method fermentation is followed by prolonged ageing on lees; the released 2013 cuvée has a dosage of 9 g/L. The house's long ageing programme contributes to its toasted, richly textured style.
