Charles Heidsieck Brut Millesime Magnum 2012

Founded in 1851, Charles Heidsieck is one of the most admired Champagne houses thanks to the unrivalled and consistently high quality of its wines. The 2012 Millésime was composed of ten Grand and Premier Cru vineyards, each meticulously selected by the late chef de caves Thierry Roset. The nose shows subtle toasted and smoked notes with a touch of liquorice alongside fruity notes of apricot, blackthorn, quince and fresh almonds. The palate is mineral and taut with excellent freshness, with notes of quince, vanilla and peaches on the mid-palate, followed by a crisp finish. A marvellous vintage which will continue to develop great complexity over time.
