Champagne Brut AOC Blanc des Millénaires 2006 Charles Heidsieck

The Champagne Blanc des Millénaires by Charles Heidsieck comes from large Cru and a Premier Cru of the Côte des Blancs, within the renowned wine-growing region of Champagne.

It is produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, harvested and selected strictly by hand. After the classic white winemaking processes, the second fermentation takes place by bottle fermentation, according to the Champenoise Method, with aging for 15 years on its lees in the millennial crayères - gypsum quarries of the Gallo-Roman era - at a constant temperature of 10 ° C.

It is characterized by a very intense golden yellow color, with primrose shades, and by a very fine and persistent perlage. The nose brings elegant and enveloping aromas of candied fruit, almonds and dates, enriched by refined hints of beeswax and nougat. On the palate it is voluptuous, velvety and sensual, accompanied by notes of hazelnut, vanilla and caramel.

Excellent as an aperitif, it is ideal to accompany caviar or refined seafood risotto.
