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! — 6 days ago

Earthy, blue fruit, smoked pork, olive brine, more alcohol on the nose than I recall, nice cigar smoke, dark ruby almost purple yet bright still, terroir driven with a sense of place. I feel like royalty with every sip. — 21 days ago

Deep opaque plummy purple, good legs. I smell vanilla, blackberry, and... gummy vitamins? Full bodied and very fruity. I wish the tannin was more present, it'd balance out the fruit better. I'll give it some air and see what's what. — 25 days ago

A crazy nose. Smells like a Barolo. Stinky tar, intense and full. Tobacco and wood. Odd. Not unpleasant but would never think this was burg? — 2 months ago
