Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs, France

This Champagne combines two apparent opposites: the firm, fresh character of young Chardonnay grapes and the vineyard's signature silky style. Here, they know how to make excellent base wines and combine various vintages and terroirs perfectly. In the glass, this Champagne appears a light, shimmering gold. On the nose, it develops aromas of white peach, candied and fresh citrus fruits as well as notes of flowers and fresh hazelnuts. On the palate, it is straightforward and lively yet also surprisingly soft.
