Champagne Charles Heidsieck
Blanc de Millénaires 2007

The Champagne Blanc de Millénaires 2007 is made of 100% Chardonnay, a real Blanc de Blancs. There are 5 main Crus of the Côte des Blancs that have been meticulously chosen for their ability to evolve and for their ability to express their full wealth when mature: Oger for its oiliness and structure, Mesnil-sur-Oger for balance, Avize for its minerality, Cramant for its complexity and Vertus for its freshness and floral notes.

It was 1993 when Charles Heidsieck presented his first Blanc des Millénaires, since then the Maison has only unveiled seven more vintages for its famous Blanc de Blancs: 1983, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2004, 2006 and 2007.

Beautifully clear, broad and distinctive, this Cuvée shows all the noble characteristics of Chardonnay, immense and eternal freshness. Gold in color with green reflections, it brings to the nose a bouquet perfectly balanced between elegance and richness.

Champagne Charles Heidsieck

The youngest maison, born from Florens-Louis Heidsieck (founded in 1851), is probably one of the most famouse one. This is due to its founder Charles-Camille Heidsieck, who understand the potential of the American market and started exporting big quantities. When the American Civil War broke out, he went to the United States to get his credits back and he was involved in many adventures, such a imprisonment in New Orleans accused of spionage. The Americans called him Champagne Charlie, which today is also the title of his biography and the 1989 movie starring Hugh Grant, about his life. Today Charles-Heidsieck is part of the same group as his cousin Piper-Heidsieck: they have a Chef de Cave (Régis Camus) in common, but not the style. The Champagne Charles Heidsieck are structured and long refined wines, while Piper-Heidsieck prefers freshness and drinking experiences.
