Charles Heidsieck Blanc De Blancs is a non-vintage brut blanc de blancs Champagne consisting entirely of chardonnay grapes. The cuvee base is 2016. Only the juice from the first press are used.
Nose: The aromas of mature Chardonnay can be recognised initially: white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnut, giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon.
Palate: Freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity: the attack is pure and forthright, not aggressive but almost unconventionally suave for a Blanc de Blancs, so often characterized as being sharp rather than creamy. The harmonious finish offers surprising minerality and a slight salinity.
