Champagne/Sparkling
In 1668, Dom Pérignon is said to have discovered how to make sparkling wine; today his technique is used the world over, although Champagne continues to make some of the finest. France’s most northerly wine region, Champagne is now home to 15,000 growers and 290 ‘houses’. A blend of grape varieties is usually required: white Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance, and two reds – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – to provide body and backbone.
CHARLES HEIDSIECK BLANC DE BLANCS RESERVE
This Chardonnay has a lovely vein of citrus running through the white peach, apple blossom and custard.
CHARLES HEIDSIECK MILLESIME
Fresh, crisp red apple flavours surrounded with such rich mineral complexity. Light yeasty notes on the nose with a beautiful straw color, lots of fine bubbles and brioche with nice acidity. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay blend.
