GRAPE VARIETY
Chardonnay
TASTING NOTES
In June, conditions were optimal and flowering commenced. In July, precipitation was sufficient to support the healthy growth of the grapes. After a relatively cool August, September saw high temperatures and low rainfall, which concentrated the acidity and sugar in the berries. 2014 saw the Côte des Blancs Chardonnay wines attain remarkable levels of freshness and purity. Blanc des Millénaires 2014 reflects with intensity and elegance the essence of Charles Heidsieck’s emphasis on time. It took nine years of dedication and expertise from three cellar masters to create this exceptional wine from the Côte des Blancs. A journey through time from the chalky terroir to the millenary Crayères is evident in the final product. Blanc des Millénaires 2014 is crafted from Chardonnay grapes sourced exclusively from five distinct Crus in the Côte des Blancs region: Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Oger, Cramant, Vertus. This vintage is the 8th in Blanc des Millénaires' 40-year history. The 2014 vintage is notable for its distinctive characteristics, which align well with the Chardonnay grapes, aged for nine years prior to bottling. The wine's tasting profile is characterized by bright and contained aromas and flavors, with a distinct freshness. The nose presents notes of blood orange and a rich, nutty character, while the mouthfeel offers a hint of brioche and ripe apricot, along with a deep salty quality, mild tobacco and eucalyptus notes, and a chalky finish.

Charles Heidsieck

Charles Heidsieck Discover the Maison Charles Heidsieck and its fine Champagnes in our online store Charles Camille Heidsieck was born in 1822, 37 years after his great-uncle founded Champagne Heidsieck et Cie House. The young Charles grew up in an environment where one breathed the air of champagne from an early age. At just 29, he took his destiny into his own hands and founded the Maison Charles Heidsieck , buying 47 crayères in which to vinify the grapes grown by his cousin Ernest Henriot. The 19th Century was the era of great discoveries and Charles immediately revealed himself to be a visionary, innovative and highly intelligent man. He became ambassador of his own Maison and, consequently, of all of France. During his travels, Charles Heidsieck embodied contemporary French glamor and distinguished himself as a free spirit with an innate kindness. Charles was a man with an elegant and clean charm, he conquered America and seduced the bourgeoisie of New York, becoming the legendary "Champagne Charlie" . More than 160 years after its creation, the Maison remains a family business driven by the enterprising, ambitious and courageous spirit of the founder. The Champagnes Charles Heidsieck enjoys absolute fame. The unique style, characterized by a high percentage of reserve wines, is what gives balance to the Maison's cuvée sans année. The selected grapes give, together with the original Crus, complexity to the final product. Vinified vine by vine, they allow a precise selection of each wine in which one brings its touch of depth, the other its share of softness. The separate vinification allows precision and great refinement in the construction of flavors.
