Description
The 2006 Brut Rosé Champagne by Charles Heidsieck is a refined vintage cuvée that embodies the rich and elegant style of the house. Composed primarily of Pinot Noir, complemented by Chardonnay, this exceptional rosé derives its unique character from a blend of white wines and a small proportion of Pinot Noir vinified as red wine. Aged for over ten years in the chalk cellars of Charles Heidsieck, this vintage reveals remarkable depth, aromatic complexity, and structure.
Blend
63% Pinot Noir for structure and power, 37% Chardonnay for freshness and finesse, with 9% of the Pinot Noir vinified as red wine, bringing notes of red fruits and a beautiful pink hue.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Intense salmon-pink color with copper reflections and fine, persistent bubbles.
Nose: Complex aromas of ripe red fruits like raspberry, strawberry, and cherry, paired with notes of citrus, toasted brioche, vanilla, and a hint of cocoa, revealing the extended aging on lees.
Palate: The palate is broad and silky, with a vibrant acidity. Red fruit flavors combine with touches of candied citrus and dried fruits, accompanied by notes of biscuit and chocolate. The texture is creamy, balanced by subtle minerality, and the finish is long, fresh, and elegant, with lasting hints of fine red fruits.
Aging Potential
The 2006 Brut Rosé is at its peak but can continue to age in the cellar for another 5 to 10 years, developing tertiary aromas and greater complexity.
Food Pairings
This Rosé Champagne pairs beautifully with meat dishes like roasted duck or veal. It also complements seafood dishes, such as grilled langoustines, as well as soft, aged cheeses. For a sweet touch, it pairs well with red fruit desserts, such as raspberry tart or dark chocolate fondant.
