The Charles Heidsieck Champagne Brut Réserve NV (375ml), crafted in Reims by the historic Charles Heidsieck House, epitomises balance, depth and finesse. Composed of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier, with 40% reserve wines aged up to 10 years, it shows a golden hue and fine, persistent mousse. Aromas of baked apple, brioche and almond lead to a palate of lemon curd, pastry cream and chalky minerality. At 12% ABV, it is elegant, full and beautifully textured. Awarded 93 points by Wine Spectator and James Suckling, it shines as an aperitif or with scallops-perfect now or cellar through 2030.
