Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 2007

Blanc des Millénaires is a cuvée created in the early 1980s, reserved for the very best Chardonnays. Across thirty years, only seven vintages have been produced: 1983, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2004, 2006 and 2007. The 2007 shows a pale gold colour with light green glints, with saline minerality all-pervading and toasted, smoky notes. When swirled, fresh citrus notes of grapefruit, yuzu and quince appear, alongside creamy accents and subtle salted butter caramel. The vintage identity is intertwined with sharp, classy acidity, followed by an enveloping texture with lemon meringue pie and saline notes. The finish is long and full-bodied with silky sensations.
