Champagne Brut Millesime Charles Heidsieck 2012

Champagne AOC Brut Millesime is a prestigious label signed by the Charles Heidsieck maison, based in Reims in the heart of the appellation. The cuvée of this sparkling wine is particularly balanced, with 59% Pinot Noir grapes and the remaining 41% Chardonnay. The grapes are grown in the most suitable crus, based on the specific variety. The work between the rows is marked by the utmost respect for tradition. Human intervention is limited to the practices necessary to ensure that the vines can grow luxuriantly. After a meticulous harvest, the grapes ferment separately in steel tanks. Once the cuvée has been assembled, refermentation takes place in the bottle, according to the Champenoise method, while the subsequent aging on the lees lasts a good 9 years. After disgorgement, a small percentage of "liquer de tirage" is added to the sparkling wine. Champagne AOC Brut Millesime is perfect as soon as it is bottled, but it is advisable to let it rest for up to 6/7 years to appreciate its sensory evolution.
