Lots going on with this - don't think I've had a blanc de blanc quite like this before. Really good! — 11 years ago
Visiting Charles Heidsieck; crayeres, tasting this magnificantly successful Blanc de Blancs crafted by previous celebrated chef de cave from all four grand crus in Cote des Blancs plus Vertus; amazing smoke/brulee bottle character; #champagne #drinkchampagne #charlesheidsieck #reims #blancdeblancs #blancdesmillenaires #1995 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 — 11 years ago
Light straw in color with a golden hue.
Very aromatic nose of lemons, white flowers, yeast, green apples, grapefruits, minerals, spices, herbs and white pepper.
Light bodied with high acidity and a lot of tiny bubbles.
Dry on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, bread, spices and white pepper.
Medium plus in length with limes and bitter almonds.
A well balanced sparkling wine from France. Enjoyable by itself or with food. Good quality, fruity and refreshing.
I had it at the end of the meal, by itself. This is delightful.

So glad I brought this back from France. 2002 on this is a clean finish. Wow!! — 11 years ago
"No other Champagne smells this way," Theise says, and I'm inclined to believe him. A little surprised it's pure Côte des Blancs - it is more brawny than elegant, but captivating, rewarding nonetheless. — 12 years ago

An amazing Grands Cru full of finess. Aerien bubbles with toasted bread aromas. Great elegance. — 12 years ago

It's been awhile since I had one of these but it's a really nice change up. Well worth it. I didn't taste any oak but it was still creamy with real subtle mineral and tannins — 9 years ago
