Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires 1995

We recently retasted the 1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires in the office and were hugely impressed - so much so that we quickly bought another parcel of this 20 year old champagne for our stock.  This is a wonderfully elegant champagne, with mouth-filling complexity, richness and freshness; a perfectly mature, top class Blanc de Blancs champagne at a great price.  These are lying in our cellars now and ready to deliver.


"An exquisite, perfumed, beautifully delineated Champagne, the 1995 shows lovely flavor complexity and nuance from its extended time in bottle, yet it also retains plenty of freshness, verve and acidity. This is a great showing from Charles Heidsieck."

 "The 1995 Brut Blanc des Millenaires shows just how compelling this often overlooked vintage can be. Layers of lemon, pastry, spices, crushed rocks and savory herbs literally jump from the glass. An exquisite, perfumed, beautifully delineated Champagne, the 1995 shows lovely flavor complexity and nuance from its extended time in bottle, yet it also retains plenty of freshness, verve and acidity. This is a great showing from Charles Heidsieck. The 1995 was made before the tenure of the house's current team, headed by CEO Cecile Bonnefond. It will be very interesting to see what develops at this historic property over the coming years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022"

"An elegant blanc de blancs, with a finely detailed, creamy mousse. There's a purity to the fruit flavors of poached white peach and orange granita that finds fine integration with accents of toasted brioche, grilled hazelnut and ground cardamom. Aging beautifully, this is rich in flavor yet still vibrant and well-focused through the lacy finish. Drink now through 2025."

"Repeating its success last year in the same category, this is a wine that consistently displays its impeccable breeding. Despite it being a fiercely contested final, featuring a raft of fabulous wines from all over the world, this was a clear winner that stood out from the very start, with its excellent complexity, length, harmonious texture and impeccable balance.  Few individual wines in the DWWA have received such an emphatic stamp of approval as Blanc des Millénaires 1995. Winning the International Trophy in 2013, 2011 and 2007, its hallmark is sumptuous, creamy Chardonnay of great finesse and no shortage of power."
