Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve
Description
Based on the 2014 vintage, complemented by fully 40% old reserve wines, the new release of Charles Heidsieck's NV Brut Réserve was disgorged earlier this year. It's showing very well, opening up in the glass with notes of green apple, dried white flowers, pear, candied peel and walnuts. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a textural attack and a racier, tighter-knit core than either the 2012- or 2010-base renditions, displaying good concentration and underlying richness. This is a bottling that continues to punch above its weight and which both merits and rewards a few years in the cellar before opening.

Tasting note
查爾斯愛希克香檳以其優雅與複雜性著稱，展現了香檳的極致工藝。這款酒由60個特級葡萄園的葡萄調配而成，其中40%為陳年達10年的珍藏酒，並採用傳統方法釀造。酒體呈深金色，氣泡細膩，展現了在白堊地窖中長時間熟成的精緻。香氣層次豐富，有新鮮出爐的奶油麵包、烤堅果、芒果與杏桃的果香，並帶有開心果與杏仁的細膩氣息。口感濃郁順滑，帶有牛軋糖、李子與櫻桃的風味，尾韻則散發香草與榛果糖的甜美。無論搭配海鮮、龍蝦，或是甜點如可麗餅，都是絕佳選擇。
Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve is a masterful expression of Champagne's elegance and complexity. Crafted using the traditional method, this wine is a blend of 60 crus, with 40% reserve wines aged up to 10 years. Its deep golden hue and fine effervescence are a testament to its extended maturation in chalk cellars. On the nose, it reveals aromas of freshly baked brioche, roasted nuts, and sun-kissed fruits like mango and apricot, complemented by hints of pistachio and almond. The palate is rich and creamy, with flavors of nougatine, plums, and cherries, finishing with notes of vanilla and praline. Perfectly balanced, this Champagne is a versatile companion to shellfish, lobster, or even a sweet crèpe.
