94 points, “A very striking nose with Reine Claude plums, old-fashioned apple varieties and some Nordic herbs. Structured and crisp with a very firm core, the finish driving and full of energy. Rich long finish with a chalky core.” - James Suckling
93 points, “The bouquet of the 2013 Brut Millésimé is compellingly fresh and minty, complicated by notes of white fruit – notably pear and apple – citrus and gentle spices, as well as a light touch of smoke. With aeration, elegant pastry notes come to the fore. On the palate, this is a structured, tension-filled but airborne Champagne with racy acidity, fleshy and charming texture and a long, penetrating finish. It should age well over the next eight to 10 years.” - Robert Parker
One of the smallest of the Grandes Marques, this family-owned estate produces award-winning Champagne. Not having the big marketing budget of some of the larger houses, Charles Heidsieck often seems to fly under the radar but it’s universally loved by all who work in the fine wine industry – as proven by the fact that between them the winemaking team have been named ‘Sparkling Winemaker of the Year’ at the International Wine Challenge 16 times.
Charles Heidsieck Brut Millésimé 2013 is a blend of ten Grand Crus and Premier Crus (Aÿ, Oger, Vertus, Chouilly, Ludes, and Cuis for the Chardonnay and Ambonnay, Tauxières, Avenay and Verzy for the Pinot Noir) meticulously selected by the House. The exceptional cuvée was patiently aged for a decade in Gallo-Roman Crayères and remains true to the Charlies Heidsieck style delivering refined elegance, aromatic intensity and saline crispness which will only flourish with time.
The intense golden hued expression fills the nose with notes of smoky toast, apricot, flapjack, lemon zest and dried fruits and leads onto a velvety palate with orange blossom, peaches and cream, gooseberry jam, grapefruit and buttered toast. An outstanding vintage to be reserved for special occasions, Christmas Day or even a very lavish breakfast.
