Charles Heidsieck Brut Millesime 2012 (no box)

An essential reference for great Champagne wines, the Charles Heidsieck House maintains a prestigious heritage with two thousand year old chalk pits. The pioneering Charles Heidsieck began to distinguish itself from the end of the 1980s through showcasing its multi-vintage Brut champagne’s exceptional capacity for aromatic evolution. In 1987, Charles Heidsieck was the first Champagne house to indicate its “cellaring” year so as to follow the evolution of the wine.

The Charles Heidsieck Champagne House owns a vineyard of around 60 hectares in Marne and Aube. This vineyard has received sustainable viticulture and High Environmental Value certifications. In addition to its own vineyard and following the Champagne model, Charles Heidsieck supplements its vineyard through long-term supply contracts with rigorously selected wine-growers and cooperatives.

The Charles Heidsieck Brut Vintage 2012 is a vintage designed for ageing, full of minerality, complexity and elegance. The year 2012 has been much talked about. Probably because of its chaotic viticultural past, finally rewarded by a breathtaking harmony, almost miraculous. Today the 2012 vintage has found its place among the greatest years of Champagne.

The year 2012 made news. Not often does so chaotic and challenging a vintage provide wines with such incredible balance,
concentration and harmony. Today the 2012 vintage has found its place amongst the great Champagne years. 

The House has meticulously selected 10 Grands and Premiers Crus this cuvée is enticing for its pleasant smoothness, aromatic intensity and the saline freshness that is so typical of the House.

“Soon to be released in magnum, the 2012 Brut Millésimé continues to show well, delivering aromas of citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, buttery pastry and beeswax and framed by a deft touch of smoky reduction. Medium to full-bodied, racy and chiseled, with fine depth at the core and a long, penetrating finish, this bottle was disgorged in summer 2021.”

"即將在大瓶規格上市,2012年份香檳在酒質方面持續優秀,呈現柑橘皮、清脆的園果香、新鮮烘焙麵包、奶油糕點和蜂蠟等風味,帶有一絲煙燻還原的感覺。酒體中等偏飽滿,爽朗有勁,內核飽滿,尾韻悠長穿透。該酒於2021年夏季裝瓶。"
