Charles Heidsieck Vintage Brut Millésimé 2013

Charles Heidsieck Vintage Brut Millésimé 2013 is a striking Champagne that combines generosity, precision, and the house’s signature depth. Made from 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, it offers a beautifully layered style that is immediately appealing yet built with enough structure to age gracefully.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a refined, persistent mousse, this vintage Champagne opens with expressive aromas of pomelo, pear, and confit lemon, lifted by brioche and jasmine, with a discreet smoky edge from reduction. The palate is full-bodied and enveloping, showing a ripe, charming core of fruit balanced by vivid but mature acidity. Its texture is plush and creamy without losing tension, and the finish turns increasingly toasty and saline, leaving a long impression of roasted citrus and chalky freshness. While already very seductive, it has the balance and concentration to develop further complexity over the coming years.

Production
Crafted in Champagne, France, from a classic blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, this vintage reflects both the richness of the Pinot and the finesse of the Chardonnay. The wine was disgorged in May 2024 with a dosage of 8 grams per liter, a level that supports the wine’s ripe fruit profile while preserving clarity and structure.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile Champagne for refined dishes such as shellfish, lobster, seared scallops, roast chicken with herbs, or creamy mushroom risotto. It also pairs well with aged hard cheeses and dishes that echo its toasty, saline finish. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass will allow the aromas to unfold.
