| Perfume | The aromas of mature Chardonnay can be recognised initially: while peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honesuckle and fresh hazelnut, give way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon. |
| Taste | Freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity: the attack is pure and forth, not aggresive but almost unconventionally 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. |

Description
Charles Heidsieck was one of the very first Champagne Houses to demonstrate its passion for Chardonnay by producing a Blanc de Blancs in its 1949 vintage. There is also evidence that the Maison had produced some mono-crus from the Côte des Blancs as early as1906. Through this cuvée, relaunched in 2018, two of the House’s areas of expertise come together: the production of great white wines and the art of blending a large selection of wines from different years and terroirs. The challenge is to make opposites coexist: the tautness and the freshness of young chardonnays on the one hand, and the silky “Charles” character on the other.
