Cheers to Champagne Charlie!
This is the Charles Heidsieck Brut Rosé Réserve. It’s made with a blend of Pinot Noir (40%), Chardonnay (35%), Meunier (25%). It’s a non-vintage wine that cellared in Charles Heidsieck’s famous chalk cellars (crayeres) for 4+ years.
It’s a beautiful salmon hue in appearance and offers complex aromas and flavors including strawberry shortcake, lemon curd, fresh raspberry, baked peach, pie crust, brioche, cream, nougat, toasted almond croissant, candied nuts, and dried pink rose petals. On the palate is a fine and creamy mousse and vibrant acidity.
It’s positively delicious, complex, and balanced. A non-vintage that drinks like a vintage champagne. Yum! — 9 days ago

#AgedWineTuesday
Very light salmon in color.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.
Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, limes, citrus, green apples, yeast, brioche, spices and minerals.
Still very young and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.
A blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay.
12% alcohol by volume.

Sipping Fine Wine
Made from Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada grapes, bright pale gold color with a frothy creamy mousse, small rapid bubble flow with a steady stream. Aromas and flavors of apple and citrus with toasty notes, integrated, nice mouthfeel, elegant long finish. Great value as an exceptional alternative to French Champagne. — 10 days ago
