Perfect for a birthday. A lovely balance between liveliness and roundness. Really professional service. Top-notch from start to finish.

Brut Millésimé 2013 75cl
The colour is pale gold with gilded highlights, animated by a fine and persistent effervescence. The nose opens on fresh notes of mint and white fruits — pear, apple — complemented by citrus, gentle spice and an elegant touch of smokiness; with aeration, enticing brioche and patisserie notes emerge.…

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The hallmark of the 2013 vintage: a razor-sharp acidity and a vivacity that runs through the cuvée from start to finish.
Roundness
Nine years on lees have softened the edges, delivering a fleshy, enveloping texture.
Power
The dominant Pinot Noir lends a confident structure without ever overwhelming the elegance.
Length
A penetrating finish with mineral and spiced nuances that lingers remarkably.
TASTING NOTES
The colour is pale gold with gilded highlights, animated by a fine and persistent effervescence. The nose opens on fresh notes of mint and white fruits — pear, apple — complemented by citrus, gentle spice and an elegant touch of smokiness; with aeration, enticing brioche and patisserie notes emerge. The palate reveals itself structured and taut, with a lively acidity underpinning a fleshy, seductive texture, culminating in a long, mineral and penetrating finish.

9g/LDosage

43%Chardonnay
Terroirs
A blend of 10 Grands and Premiers Crus — Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Aÿ, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Avize, Oger, Vertus, Tauxières, Avenay and Louvois — marrying the mineral rigour of the Côte des Blancs with the fleshy depth of the Montagne de Reims. After nine years of ageing on lees in the Crayères de Reims, the cuvée reveals the full complexity of this atypical vintage.
About this house
Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck — the legendary 'Champagne Charlie' — the house is established in Reims within the spectacular Crayères, ancient Gallo-Roman galleries hewn from the chalk, which provide ideal ageing conditions at a constant temperature of 10 °C.
Under the direction of cellar master Thierry Roset, Charles Heidsieck upholds a philosophy of complex blends built upon exceptional reserve wines. The house is regularly distinguished among the benchmarks of Champagne: its Brut Réserve has claimed the title of 'Best Non-Vintage Champagne' on multiple occasions at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Les bulles fines et la vivacité citronnée du 2013 s'accordent délicieusement avec la chaleur dorée et le fromage fondu des gougères.
Starter
La fraîcheur agrumée et la minéralité du Chardonnay entrent en résonance parfaite avec le gravlax mariné aux agrumes et aux herbes fraîches.
Main course
La structure du Pinot Noir et la longueur en bouche du millésime soutiennent élégamment la richesse iodée et beurrée du homard.
