Description
The 2007 Champagne Blanc des Millénaires by Charles Heidsieck is a vintage cuvée exclusively crafted from Chardonnay, showcasing the finesse and complexity of the Côte des Blancs terroir. Made from select Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, including Avize, Cramant, and Mesnil-sur-Oger, this wine is aged for over a decade in the historic chalk cellars, allowing it to develop remarkable depth and a delicate bouquet. The Blanc des Millénaires is a testament to the house’s commitment to quality and timeless elegance.
Blend
100% Chardonnay from the finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites in the Côte des Blancs, known for their purity, mineral structure, and refined acidity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale gold color with subtle green highlights and fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose: An intricate bouquet with aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and stone fruits like peach, complemented by toasted almond, hazelnut, and brioche notes, reflecting the wine’s long aging on lees. Subtle mineral undertones bring additional complexity.
Palate: The palate is rich and elegant, with a creamy texture. Flavors of citrus, pear, and apricot are balanced by a refreshing acidity and chalky minerality. Notes of buttery brioche and toasted nuts add depth, leading to a long, precise, and refined finish with a touch of salinity.
Aging Potential
The 2007 Blanc des Millénaires is already showing exquisite maturity but can continue to evolve in the cellar for another 10-15 years, gaining further richness and complexity.
Food Pairings
This Champagne pairs beautifully with refined seafood dishes like lobster, oysters, or scallops. It also complements creamy cheeses such as Brie or aged cheeses like Parmesan, as well as delicate dishes with truffle accents.
