Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs NV

Charles Heidsieck was one of the very first Champagne Houses to demonstrate its passion for Chardonnay by producing a Blanc de Blancs in its 1949 vintage. Through this cuvée, relaunched in 2018, two of the House’s areas of expertise come together: the production of great white wines and the art of blending a large selection of wines from different years and terroirs.

The non-vintage Blanc de Blancs expresses a style that is both fresh and vibrant, deep and generous, complex and delicate. It is a bold wine, elegant atypical, true to the Charles Heidsieck values.

Today, after many successful years, it adopts a new look. White with gold lining, which serves to further highlight its signature white grape, Chardonnay.

TO THE EYE

pale, crystalline gold with the typical glints of the Chardonnay varietal

ON THE 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

ON THE PALATE

freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity: the attack is pure and forthright, not aggressive with surprising suavity for a Blanc de Blancs and emblematic of the maturation of wines in two-thousand-year-old chalk cellars

A SELECTIVE BLEND OF 100% CHARDONNAY: 10 crus of Chardonnay, the most sought-after grapes in the region.

A SUAVE TAUTNESS: A velvety effervescence thanks to 25% of reserve wines with an average age of 5 years and a prolonged ageing of between 3 to 4 years in cellars, far beyond the norms of the region.

A SUAVE TAUTNESS: A cuvée that brings together two opposites: the tautness and the freshness of young Chardonnay grapes with this silky Charles’ style.
