Charles Heidsieck
Millésimé Brut Rosé Champagne Blend
My last bottle. When it comes to big house producers, Charles Heidsieck may very well be my favorite. This 2006 rosé has 8-10% still red wine in it, and spent about seven years before disgorgement.
This was opened alongside a Ulysse Collin Les Maillons (which is one of my favorite grower champagnes, yet I’m out at their increasing price point). The inherit sweetness here is so divine. More balanced than the bottle I opened 2-3yrs ago, yet more compact than the 2007 I opened a few months ago. Required about an hour to come in to its own. Salmon-colored in the glass with an intoxicating nose…strawberry shortbread, toasted pastries (cranberry scone), faint limestone. Typical CHeidsieck palate with richness but great focus…turns a bit darker red fruit driven but already possesses a mature-profile with nougat and spiced red fruits at the finish. Definitely some flair of orange zest too. Benchmark vintage rosé!

Dec 14th, 2016One of the faves of 46 tasting about 40 Champagnes. Pale orange. Creamy flavors of strawberry, watermelon and sweet nuts. Fresh and acidic.

Apr 23rd, 2016Full bodied with intriguing development. Toasted, buttered brioche topped with dried strawberries, figs and cinnamon Quite savory indeed! Only the third vintage of rose produced from the house since 1985. Signed by Régis Camus, , Chef de Cave. #champagne #saberit #bubbles 👊👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
