\"\"<\/p>\n

This is one of the best NV blends out there. It’s made from 60 different crus, with 40% reserve wines (a very high proportion), and bottled in 2011 before disgorgement in 2017. There is no oak in the cellar here. Average age of reserve wines is 10 years: most are there to iron out inconsistencies in the vintage, but there are also some old ones to add ‘spice’.<\/p>\n

Champagne Charles Heidsieck Brut R\u00e9serve NV France<\/strong>
\nThis is rich but refined with subtle toast and bread characters, a touch of hazelnut and salted almond nuttiness, and linear lemon and ripe apple fruit. There’s a bit of grip here and the acid is countered by slight nougat and apricot sweetness, with a long lemony finish. There’s weight here but no make-up, and it’s pretty serious stuff. I can’t think of many multivintage blends that I’d rather have over this. 93\/100<\/p>\n
