Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs
Descrizione
Charles Heidsieck è stata una delle prime case di Champagne ad appassionarsi alla Chardonnay producendo un Blanc de Blancs fin dalla vendemmia 1949. Ci sono anche alcune testimonianze che raccontano l'esistenza di cru della Côte des Blancs lavorati esclusivamente da Charles Heidsieck nel 1906.
Attraverso questa cuvée rilanciata nel 2018, si uniscono due competenze della maison: quella di produrre grandi vini bianchi e l'arte di assemblare un'ampia selezione di vini provenienti da annate e terroir diversi. La sfida consiste nel far coesistere gli opposti: la tensione e la freschezza dei giovani chardonnay da un lato, e la setosità tipica della cantina dall'altro.

Recensioni degli esperti
Beautiful nose of white flowers with candied lemon peel aromas underlined by a delicate white bread character with just a hint of toast. At once generous and elegant on the front palate, then the salty and chalky character builds beautifully, very nicely balancing the dosage at the long polished finish. A cuvee based on the 2018 vintage with 30% reserve wines matured for almost three years on the lees before disgorging in January 2023. Drink now.
Based on the 2012 vintage, the latest rendition of Heidsieck's NV Blanc de Blancs incorporates some 20% reserve wines, derived from younger vintages to emphasize what Cyril Brun described as the "youthful" side of Chardonnay, in contrast to the mature expression of that cépage offered by the house's Blanc de Millénaires. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, green apple and walnut oil, complemented by some of the empyreumatic nuances so typical of the base vintage, it's a medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive wine that's lively and inviting. It was disgorged last year with nine grams per liter dosage. - William Kelley.
One of the pioneers of the blanc de blancs style, Charles Heidsieck only relaunched its 100% Chardonnay NV Champagne in 2018. Round but incisive and fresh, this has lovely balance between its creamy, woody mouthfeel and its fresh, saline acidity. A lovely food wine.
Le blanc de blanc est charmeur, avec des notes patissières au nez, une touche grillée, mais surtout une bonne allonge.

Extraordinario para una comida entera,desde los entrantes hasta el final !!!!
