Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve
Non-Vintage from Champagne, France
winemaker's notes:
Experience a fully developed wine, with a radiant bouquet that is captivating yet subtle. Although notes of fully ripe fruit, such as nectarines and cherry plums, are apparent initially, the finish reveals the wealth of the gourmet world, hinting at nougat, honey and cereal grains.
This wine is remarkably smooth and generous on the palate. Three years of maturation have given it body and substance. As the wine opens up, it is full and intense with notes of warm bread blending harmoniously with discreet notes of ginger and coriander.
The grapes used to produce this exquisite testament to winemaking are selected from the top crus in the Champagne region. 34% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Meunier.
critical acclaim:
"Compelling, from the first aromas of butter, vanilla, toast and coffee to the candied citrus and passion fruit jelly flavors. Harmonious and long, with a refined finish that echoes mineral. Drink now through 2012."

Wine Spectator
"An attractive bouquet of cooked peaches, charred oak and minerals. A well-toasted triad of tropical fruit flavors including grilled pineapple, baked apple and peach. Lengthy, honeyed finish with the perfect amount of toast."

I would buy this wine again
I had this at a tasting with 100 Champagnes, 15 being over $100/bottle. (Cristal, Dom...) This was my #3 of the entire tasting. Nose of whipped cream, toast and citrus. Full bodied, balanced and refreshing. This is one of the few well priced wines from wine.com.

I would buy this wine again
Wonderful, mouth-filling flavor. Not overly dry, so you can still taste that this is wine. Maintained its effervescence to the last drop.
