Recently I have had some poor sparkling wines so it was a treat to have an excellent one at a reasonable price. This Champagne has a pear and toast nose and tastes of pear, apple, and brioche. A good value. Mostly 2017 vintage in this November 2022 disgorgement. — 2 months ago
Wanted to drink this with friends but that ain’t happening so cracked it for NYE. Very good I don’t think Charles Heidsiek makes anything that isn’t though — 3 months ago
Great fruit even at this age. The only issue I had besides the slight bell pepper is how rough the tannins were and the coconut on the nose. American oak? Not something i’d think Roy would use. — a month ago
At 23 years of age And 22 years on the lees, this wine has loads of toasty autolytic flavors combined with lemon drop, dried orange rind, dried raspberry, baked apple, toast, pastry, honey, hazelnut and acacia. Soft but persistent mousse and an extremely long finish. — 2 months ago
Deep color and texture. Excellent — 4 months ago
