Charles Heidsieck 2008 Vintage Champagne (0,75L 12%)
Charles Heidsieck has won the "Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year" title 12 times in 20 years — no small achievement. 60/40/10: this is the exceptional equation that makes the Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve Champagne Magnum a truly special release from the house. The number 60 indicates that 60 different crus are blended in equal proportions of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. To achieve a highly complex sparkling wine, 40% reserve wines are used, aged on average for 10 years — an extraordinary figure even within the Champagne region. These wines fall into two categories: 5–10-year-old wines are added for fruitiness and freshness, while the 10–20-year-old reserve wines bring intensity and complexity to this exceptional Champagne. Slow and extended cellar ageing produces perfectly regulated bubbles, with a brilliant golden color. The Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve Champagne Magnum is the perfect companion for celebrations and special occasions.
