Described as a year when chaotic wine-producing history was finally
rewarded with almost miraculous harmony, 2012 is now hailed as one of Champagne's best – and Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésime 2012 is a “classic” vintage in the noblest sense of the term! This blended rosé boasts lushness and elegance with its delicate and dynamic effervescence, well-balanced tannins and silky finish. On the nose, toasted, smoky notes, ripe fruit and minerality reminiscent of its native soil, giving way to a vibrant bouquet of pomegranate, blackthorn, quince and raw almonds with a touch of blueberry. Abundantly fresh on the palate with flavours of quince, white pepper and fresh-picked peaches. Powerful, generous, smooth and remarkably fresh, this wine will age gracefully for many years! Pair with the best Peking duck in town, salmon gravlax, smoked fish and gourmet cheeses such as Livarot and aged Mimolette.
