CHARLES HEIDSIECK

Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 2014 Champagne Gift Box

Trust your Taste

Citrus and kiwi mingle with dried apricot, brioche and pastry in this mature Blanc de Blancs. Silky texture meets fresh, saline notes and a subtly bitter finish. Try it if you enjoy generous Champagne with developed depth.

PalateKeyBr · Broad & Generous
?

Generous flavour and texture balanced by freshness or depth favour Broad & Generous palates. PalateKey groups wines by how they feel, helping you find styles you enjoy. Your own taste comes first.

This suits you if you enjoy silky Champagne with mature flavour and fresh mineral detail.

It may not suit you if you prefer simple fruit or no bitter edge.

How this wine feels

This feels full and silky, with almost no grip. Fruit and pastry share the middle, while freshness and a gentle bitter edge give definition.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
