Description
The 1983 Champagne Blanc des Millénaires by Charles Heidsieck is an extraordinary vintage cuvée, crafted exclusively from Chardonnay and celebrated for its elegance and remarkable complexity. This wine is sourced from select Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs, including Avize, Cramant, and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The long aging process, combined with exceptional terroirs, has yielded a Champagne with incredible depth, structure, and a bouquet of mature aromas that make it a standout among vintage Champagnes.
Blend
100% Chardonnay from the prestigious Côte des Blancs, particularly from Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites, chosen for their finesse and mineral character.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep golden color with subtle amber reflections, showcasing its age and maturity, with fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose: A rich, mature bouquet of dried fruits like apricot and fig, mingling with toasted hazelnuts, honey, and almond, and accompanied by notes of brioche and a hint of truffle, demonstrating the long cellar aging.
Palate: On the palate, this Champagne is full-bodied and layered, with flavors of baked apple, citrus marmalade, and toasted nuts. It has a creamy, velvety texture with a vibrant acidity that balances the mature flavors. The finish is incredibly long and complex, with lingering notes of minerality, dried fruits, and a touch of spice.
Aging Potential
The 1983 Blanc des Millénaires has already reached impressive maturity, but it can continue to age gracefully in the cellar for another few years, providing a rich and evolving experience.
Food Pairings
This Champagne pairs beautifully with luxurious dishes such as lobster thermidor, seared scallops, or foie gras. It also complements aged cheeses like Parmesan or Comté, as well as truffle-infused dishes that echo its earthy, mature character.
