Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A precise lemon-mandarin acidity that structures the wine with elegance and draws out its length.
Roundness
A creamy, generous unctuousness that is the true hallmark of the 2012 vintage.
Power
A sun-drenched vintage expressed on the palate through an ample, concentrated core.
Length
A persistent finish of golden caramel, candied zest and smoked almond.
TASTING NOTES
A brilliant golden robe with faintly amber highlights, testament to a beautiful evolution. On the nose, the assemblage unfolds aromas of praline almond, crème brûlée, acacia honey and white peach, lifted by a smoky mineral touch and crystallised lemon. The palate is sumptuously creamy, generous yet precise, threaded through with a mandarin-bright acidity that carries to a long finish of caramel, cinnamon and candied zest.

Terroirs
An assemblage drawn from 10 Grands and Premiers Crus across Champagne — Oger, Vertus, Chouilly, Aÿ, Ambonnay, Tauxières, Ludes among others — aged six years on lees before disgorgement in April 2019.
About this house
Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck — nicknamed 'Champagne Charlie' following his triumphant conquest of New York high society — the house has built its legend on the strength of its prestige vintages and an unwavering philosophy of slow, patient ageing on lees.
Under the guidance of cellar master Cyril Brun, Charles Heidsieck perpetuates the art of reserve wines and generous maturation, producing champagnes of a richness and complexity rarely matched in the region.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Ses bulles fines et sa rondeur beurrée font merveille sur des gougères tiédies, dont le fromage fondu répond aux notes de noisette et de crème brûlée.
Starter
La texture onctueuse et la richesse aromatique du 2012 s'accordent avec une évidence naturelle à l'opulence du foie gras.
Main course
La puissance et la profondeur du millésime portent avec grâce une volaille truffée, dont les arômes terreux répondent aux nuances fumées et minérales du vin.
