Brut Millésimé 2018
A vibrant, fresh and generous vintage
"The vintage exemplifies the Charles Heidsieck philosophy of depth and elegance. Brut Vintage 2018 combines power and finesse while preserving the vibrant freshness and ageing potential that are the hallmarks of Charles Heidsieck."
Elise Losfelt, Cellar Master
THE 2018 VINTAGE – The 2018 vintage was marked by challenging but ultimately rewarding conditions for Charles Heidsieck. Despite heavy rains and stormy spring weather, followed by a hot, dry summer, the vines were able to thrive.
Maturity developed rapidly, and the grapes were healthy, with minimal rot and excellent sanitary conditions. The high yields allowed winemakers to replenish reserves after a difficult 2017, and the resulting wines were fresh, fruity, and elegant.

Luminous, generous, mineral
To the eye:
A luminous golden colour with lively bubbles.
ON THE NOSE:
A discreet nose that opens up with notes of cocoa, roasted coffee, brioche, quince and roasted pineapple. On swirling, aromas of yellow fruit come to the fore: peach and apricot, as do the delicious flavours of blackberry jelly.
ON THE PALATE:
Round and generous on the palate, with a full attack. From the very first sip, the juicy fruit aromas build in strength. The finish is tangy, with a gentle bitterness of cocoa and liquorice.
