Charles Heidsieck Blanc Des Millenaires 2004 750ml

WS95
The Blanc des Millénaires 2004 is comprised of 100% Chardonnay, blended by five major crus from the Côte des Blancs: Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant and Vertus. Charles Heidsieck’s Chef de Caves, Cyril Brun comments, The 2004 version already offers the beautiful color, long finish and silky texture so characteristic Charles Heidsieck cuvées. Only a sharp assembly and a development of the highest quality can pass the test of fourteen years. The fifth edition of this wine underscores Charles Heidsieck’s long tradition in the development of Blanc de Blancs, dating back to the House’s first 100% Chardonnay vintage produced in 1947. Charles Heidsieck released its first vintage of Blanc des Millénaires, a sharper and concise blend, in 1993 with the 1983 vintage. Since then, the House has only unveiled four vintages of this wine: 1985, 1990, 1995 and finally now 2004.

Wine Spectator

"A seamless Champagne, showing a texture of raw silk, this weaves vibrant acidity with an expressive range of glazed apple and poached white cherry fruit flavors, with pickled ginger and saffron spice details and rich notes of pastry cream, toast and coffee liqueur. More about finesse than power, this is long and creamy on the mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2028"
