Champagne Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve NV

Champagne, FranceChampagne Charlie is a classic, rich and toasty, thanks to an impressive 50% reserve wines, and range of 60 crus. This flagship NV is based upon GC Oger (Côtes des Blancs), GC Ambonnay (Montagne de Reims), and Verneiul (Vallée de la Marne), with a cépage of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. Each cru was vinified in stainless solo, with 5-10% seeing time in wood. Luxuriant brioche, lemon curd, praline fills the doughy palate, redolent of red apple, with enough sharpened chalky acidity to sculpt and shape through a lemon / chalk finish. Quite stylish and modern, this house's NV leads the three Heidsieck lots by a lot. Don't forget Champagne Charlie when you're looking for a classic English styled champagne.Tasted: 20 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
