Tasting Note
Charles Heidsieck Brut 2012 is elegant, expressive, and richly textured, offering aromas of candied citrus, baked apple, toasted brioche, and roasted hazelnut. Subtle notes of apricot, honeycomb, and chalky minerality add depth. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully balanced, with fine, persistent bubbles, layered fruit, savoury complexity, and bright acidity. The finish is long, creamy, and impeccably refined—classic Charles Heidsieck sophistication with vintage intensity.
