CHARLES HEIDSIECK, BLANC DES MILLENAIRES 2006, 0.75L

APPEARANCE: A deep golden hue with glints of light
green.
ON THE NOSE: Floral notes of violets and acacia lead
into deeper notes of blood oranges, stonefruit, g and
date, complemented by subtle herbal notes of mild tobacco
and eucalyptus.
ON THE PALATE: Remarkable texture is the special
signature of Blanc des Millénaires. Beginning with a saline
and chalky texture, the palate moves into creamy notes of
nougat, citrus and whipped cream, with a round and
generous nish, almost glowing with toasted accents.
It is, in fact, similar to its 1995 ancestor: a magnicent
reference!
Cellar Mater Cyril Brun recommends pairing Blanc des
Millénaires with seafood, such as tartar of langoustines with
passion fruit, roast John Dory, or pressed, uncooked cheese
such as Saint Nectaire or Morbier.
