Champagne Jeroboam of CHARLES HEIDSIECK Reserve

The Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve is what happens when you take 60% of the wines of the year –a third of Pinot Noir, an equal measure of Pinot Meunier, and one-third Chardonnay – and 40% reserve wine: half-and-half Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

説明

Take 60% wines of the year – by mixing a third Pinot Noir, one-third Pinot Meunier and one-third Chardonnay – and make up the rest by adding reserve wines consisting of half-and-half Pinot Noir Chardonnay and what do you get? The Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve, of course, complete with a bright gold dress glowing with silver streaks and a graceful, effervescent charisma that simply exudes charm.

With its gourmet nose, marked strongly by notes of hazelnut, praline and alluring dark chocolate, it's light and contains hints of delicious rich pastry. Soon after come the herbs: dill and tarragon, enhancing an already sumptuous flavour.

The silky palate is a measure of all these qualities, and offers up fruit aromas of tropical fruits, pineapple and peach. The mouth is therefore full, making the finish of this bottle intense and delicious.
