Charles Heidsieck
Blanc des Millénaires Champagne Chardonnay
Champagne, France
The reason why I like bubbles so much . This Champagne spent over 30 years on the less. Truly incredible , complex , and fresh . Only 300 bottles released two years ago. Simply profound !

1985 vintage. At Hotel Les Crayeres. Medium golden hue. Hints of oxidation with mushroom truffle aromas that did blow off to some degree over time. Not a whole lot of primary fruit here, especially when compared with the superior Champagne Charlie from the same vintage that was as fresh as a daisy. On the palate, medium acidity and body, medium plus concentration of flavours and finish. Drink up. Good but not stellar.
