Now fully mature, it presents a finely evolved, honeyed nose accentuated by a nutty undertone of pistachio. On the palate, notes of buttered toast and a touch of lemon evolve toward a finish reminiscent of oloroso sherry and Asian spices. Disgorged in 1994, this champagne has reached its peak, showcasing the culmination of its ageing process and the complexity of flavours that have developed over time.
Producer Information
Charles Heidsieck is a prestigious Champagne producer. Its house style is structured and creamy, with a high proportion of reserve wine used in the Brut NV. Charles Heidsieck uses the three main Champagne grapes; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier, in the wines, and the grapes of which are now sourced from more than 200 growers throughout Champagne.The house began in 1851 when its eponymous founder the original “Champagne Charlie” went into business for himself. Rather than investing in vineyards, Heidsieck invested in underground chalk cellars based in the center of Reims. The cellars, which are still part of the house today, are 60 feet (18m) below ground and have a constant temperature and humidity they have been used to age wines for nearly 150 years. The cellars were less than 330 feet (100m) away from the German front line during the First World War and managed to survive, even though 80 percent of Reims was destroyed.
