Description
// 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay (dosage 9g/L)
"The 2013 vintage is treasured by Charles Heidsieck for its powerful and pure profile. The vintage’s DNA is unique, marked by generosity, a rich texture and complemented by an exceptional freshness that crowns the harmony of the wine. To the eye, a beautiful golden robe offers glints of green accentuated by a delicate, dynamic effervescence. The initial nose introduces intense toasted and smoky notes along with ripe fruit. When swirled in the glass, the nose takes on a heartier dimension with touches of apricot and vineyard peaches. The aromatic concentration, due to a heat wave of several weeks, is reminiscent of the summer sun. The attack is taut and decisive on the palate - the creamy texture, the crisp fruitiness and spiced notes of cinnamon, liquorice and pepper are the hallmark of the House style. This vintage immediately entices the palate with its power, aromatic intensity and saline crispness." - House Notes
"Full yellow-gold colour; wonderful fragrance, very aromatic and the acidity is high giving a linear and tense palate, great line and length. A superb wine of great precision." - 96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
