If you like your champagne fresh, this still is and will get better over 5-8 yrs +.

It is fresh & lively on the palate. Excellent mousse.

Perfectly aged. I love champagnes that get into the 2nd maturation phase with integrated tertiary aromas and caramel flavor notes. This is just at the right spot right now - if you have the 1990, drink now :) — 2 months ago

Pale gold in color; yellow apples, almonds, and cream on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon, chamomile, and wet gravel with a medium finish. Still not convinced I'm a champagne person, but I get the appeal. Nellie likes it. — 4 months ago

This wine is positively stunning; despite 15 years aging in the cellars of Charles Heidsieck with 12 on the lees, it still gives such freshness with a spine of racy acidity next to toast, oyster shell, lemon curd, apple, blossom, and confectionery notes of brioche, meringue, marzipan, pie crust, & toasted almond. — 19 days ago

Light peach in color.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing limes, green apples, herbs, earth, yeast, brioche, light strawberries, spices, minerals and white pepper.

Nice finish, elegant and easy drinking.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with fried shrimp and calamari.

A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Meunier. Bottled in 2009 and disgorged in 2017.

12% alcohol by volume.

91 points.
