Each by the case
Charles Heidsieck Blanc De Blancs
The aromas of mature Chardonnay can be recognised initially: white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnut, giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon. The palate freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity: the attack is pure and forthright, not aggressive but almost inconventionally suave for a Blanc de Blancs, so often characterised as being sharp rather than creamy. The harmonious finish offers surprising minerality and a slight salinity.
