Coteaux Champenois Red

Ambonnay 2022

To craft a Coteaux means giving life to an inspiration.

To taste it is to step into the fascinating world of blending in Champagne.

At the heart of Ambonnay, Grand Cru of the Montagne de Reims, lies the “Les Saints-Rémys” parcel.

This vineyard naturally lends itself to the making of red wines, and our Cellar Master, Émilien Erard, has sought to reveal its full potential.

A fresh and luminous wine

The 2022 Vintage

2022 will be remembered as a providential year in Champagne. After a growing season marked by exceptional sunshine, tempered by welcome rains in August, the vines yielded grapes of remarkable quality, combining abundance, ripeness and freshness, giving birth to radiant, perfectly balanced Pinot Noirs with outstanding depth.

The Pinot Noir of Ambonnay

Sourced from the “Les Saints-Rémys” parcel, this Coteaux Champenois reveals the full richness of Pinot Noir at the heart of Ambonnay, a Grand Cru of the Montagne de Reims.

TO THE EYE :

The wine displays a deep purple hue, lifted by garnet highlights.

ON THE NOSE :

The first nose is slightly kirsch-like, revealing elegant notes of morello cherries and blackberries with a delicate touch of spice. It gradually opens to chocolate nuances reminiscent of Black Forest cake, while subtle hints of rosemary and sloe complete this complex bouquet.

ON THE PALATE:

The palate is long and structured, offering flavors of red fruits supported by an elegant freshness. The balsamic finish is dense and intense.

"This Coteaux Champenois showcases the richness and purity of Ambonnay, a Grand Cru emblematic of Champagne  and  a terroir at  the  very heart  of the history  and  identity of Charles Heidsieck."

Cellar Master
