PURITY AND TIME WRITTEN IN CHALK

The 2007 vintage signals the latest iteration of Charles Heidsieck's 100% Chardonnay cuvée, called Blanc des Millénaires.

Two varieties: Chardonnay and Time.

Born from a remarkable year, this Vintage is the result of almost a decade of anticipation and harmonious ageing in the thousand-year-old crayères, listed as a UNESCO World Herritage Site.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SENSORY COMPOSITION

Rather than typifying a style, Blanc des Millénaires is more of a signature, an emotion that one feels. The cuvée demonstrates the art of blending the finest, purest terroirs. Just five villages, one Premier Cru and four Grands Crus make up this champagne: Vertus, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant.

Selected for their ability to develop and fully express their organoleptic opulence once mature, they create an extraordinary sensory composition.

INTENSITY AND ELEGANCE

to the eye

To the eye, Blanc des Millénaires 2007 is crystal-clear and radiant with an elegant stream of bubbles.

on the nose

The wine presents three successive stages. First, it is fresh, mineral and saline. It then moves into fruity citrus and kiwi notes before expressing classic tertiary aromas which define the House style: puff pastry, brioche, dates and dried apricots.

on the palate

The wine has great depth, defined by an elegance derived from the exceptional Chardonnay fruit. Its palate reflects the delicately nuanced flavours of the nose, complemented by a remarkably voluptuous texture and seemingly never-ending finish.

While already providing a superb tasting experience today, the wine possesses the power and longevity to age equally as well as earlier vintages.
