Winemaker's Notes:

 This exceptional Blanc de Blancs is one of the most celebrated champagnes in the world. Made with five of the best growths from the Côte des Blancs -- Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Vertus, Cramant and Avize. This exquisite wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, only produced in small quantities in years of exceptional quality.

The color is silvery with a delicate shimmer. On the nose there are elegant notes of fresh bark that lead to spices and macerated fruits. On the palate, charming, smooth and serene. Dry, slightly candied finish with fleshy notes of marrons glacés.

About Charles Heidsieck:

 From the very start, the wines of Charles Heidsieck managed to seduce the royal courts of Europe. Today, the House’s wines are awarded the highest accolades by professional juries across the world. The quantity of medals and trophies regularly earned by Charles Heidsieck is simply extraordinary. The winemaking team has been awarded the “Winemaker of the Year” trophy nine times by the UK International Wine Challenge.

Régis Camus joined Charles Heidsieck in 1994 and has been the head winemaker of the House since 2002. This meticulous and passionate professional likes to keep an eye on everything: the state of the vineyards, the selection of the grapes, their pressing and their vinification, cru by cru, in individual vats. His mission is to perpetuate the Charles Heidsieck style, reflecting the richness of the Champagne region.
