Charles Heidsieck Champagne Blanc de Blancs NV

- 95 Punkte DECANTER, New Champange Releases für 2026 (11/2026): „Based on 2021 and including 30% reserve wines, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs pours a brilliant yellow hue and is gorgeous on the nose, with candied lemon, Williams pear eau-de-vie, green apple, fresh brioche, and elegant chalky minerality. Full-bodied but focused, it has layered depth and tremendous refinement, with an incredibly fine, cloud-like mousse and no harsh bitterness. Seamless, long, and already fabulous today, this is the best release of this wine I have tasted to date. Roughly 13-14% of the wine was barrel fermented, and it was disgorged in 2025. Drink 2026-2038.“

- 95 Punkte Wine Review Online: „I have tasted more complex, more nuanced Blanc de Blancs before, but I can’t remember the last time I had one that was this well-balanced and satisfying at all points on the palate. First, it beautifully accentuates the primary flavors of apple, toast from reserve wine components, and metallic minerality in that sequence. Next, its linear structure makes the wine’s passage across the palate pop out at each juncture. Finally, there are those fine and persistent bubbles that make this sparkling wine last and last in the aftertaste, and in memory.“

- 95 Punkte Wine Enthusiast: “ Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs gives a Champagne that has a white fruit aroma and citrus freshness. At the same time, this bottling is mineral, beautifully textured and lightly yeasty. Drink now.“

- 93 Punkte, Owen Bargreen, OwenBargreen.com: „The NV ‘Blanc de Blancs’ is all Chardonnay coming from mainly the Côte des Blancs. It has 25% reserve wines blended in with an average age of 5 years. Immediately gratifying, this comes off mineral-laden and round on the tongue, with sea salt dusted pastry crust alongside dense melon and lemon fruits. Medium-bodied with plenty of nerve, enjoy now and over the next eight plus years. Drink 2026-2034.“
