Charles Heidsieck Brut Millésimé 2008 is a blend of ten Grands Crus and Premiers Crus meticulously selected by the House, expressing magnificent minerality, intensity and acidity. This exceptional cuvée was aged for ten years in Gallo-Roman Crayères. True to the Charles Heidsieck style, Millésimé 2008 already displays all the elegance and power of an outstanding vintage, qualities which will only be enhanced with time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Charles Heidsieck Vintage 2008 is unctuous, gourmet, powerful: a great vintage! 2008 offers us powerful and robust pinots (60% of the composition) and Chardonnays chiseled and a great freshness (40%). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis champagne from Premiers and Grands Crus reveals very fine bubbles. The nose is complex with notes of hazelnut and candied citrus. The palate is tense and offers us then a more generous and fuller texture. It has a nice length in the mouth and a beautiful aromatic richness. We will find in the end, caramel mixed with citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter more than ten years of aging, we discover an outstanding and rare champagne with a great aging potential.

On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity, a pinpoint mousse, excellent concentration and a long, elegantly chalky finish. This 2008 is still several years from showing all its cards, but it is a brilliant Champagne in the making.\u003c\/span\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e95\/100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWilliam Kelley, RobertParker.com, Apr 2020\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0,75 L \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay 40%, Pinot Noir + Pinot Meunier 60%\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brut\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehazelnut, citrus, caramel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABV: \u003c\/strong\u003e12.5% Vol.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade in: \u003c\/strong\u003eFrance, Champagne\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduced by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charles Heidsieck, France\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncluding:\u003c\/strong\u003e champagne + box\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eBrand new, (may have minor imperfections from shipping)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther information: \u003c\/strong\u003econtains sulfites\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43666713018610,"sku":"","price":170.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/2752\/0498\/products\/vntgcharles08.webp?v=1663709930","url":"https:\/\/champagne-season.com\/en-fr\/products\/charles-heidsieck-brut-vintage-2008","provider":"Champagne Season","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
