Blanc de Blancs Blanc des Millénaires Brut Charles Heidsieck 1995

La «cuvée»

Blanc des Millénaires is Charles Heidsieck's flagship champagne: a truly great cuvée. Its nose offers aromas of dried fruit, candied fruits and almonds and hazelnuts; notes of nougat and beeswax are also present. The palate is creamy and smooth, also offering aromas of almond and vanilla.

This famous champagne house bears the name of its founder, Charles Camille Heidsieck, the nephew of the founder of Piper Heidsieck, the sister enterprise founded in 1785 in Reims, who helped to popularise the image of champagne worldwide. After working in the family business (Piper Heidsieck), Charles Heidsieck founded his own domain in 1851. Going to the United States, he eventually sold over 300,000 bottles in the midst of the American Civil War.
Charles Heidsieck owns and cultivates 80 hectares of vines split across Marne and Aube. Long-term contracts with winegrowers and cooperatives in Champagne fulfil its needs in regards to supply. This house is committed to implementing practices that respect the environment and biodiversity and therefore, the vineyard is now certified in sustainable viticulture and High Environmental Value. The programme, with its 123 commitments, is both comprehensive and demanding, covering everything from soil and vine nutrition, maintenance and management, to waste control.
Owned by the Rémy Martin group since 2011 (Descours family), Charles Heidsieck produces a vintage cuvée of great finesse, sought after by many wine lovers. The domain 's style is accentuated, with ample, vinous wines and often offering toasted notes.
