A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from the ripe, golden fruited 2005 vintage in Champagne. This is the first single vintage Champagne Charles Heidsieck have produced since 2000, and it was matured in bottle on its lees during second fermantation for a lengthy 8.5 years to give extra complexity, toastiness and richness. It is ripe and full bodied, with a firm core of acidity. With its honeyed melon fruit and nutty, biscuity character, freshness and elegance it has the potential to develop beautifully in bottle for at least 20 years.
“The 2005 Vintage Brut – a classic mix of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – is a very ripe and concentrated Champagne with a bit of bitterness in the finish. “2005 was austere as a young wine, but since 2015, it shows very well and promises a very good aging potential,” finds chef de cave Régis Camus. The wine opens deep, pure and fresh on the nose, with very clear white fruit aromas, spiced bread and a very clear definition. Light, fresh and finesse-full on the silky-textured palate, but also round and intense, this is a very elegant and refined vintage Champagne. It has a pure and fresh finish, and a long and intense aftertaste.” 93+/100 pts The Wine Advocate
