Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve
Tasted 22/12/09
Lovely bead and fresh, bready aromas.
The palate is youthful and tight with fresh acidity and good length.
At this stage the Heidsieck is very much in the aperatif mould but given its quality it could easily be cellared for a couple more years and I am sure that the palate and nose would both open up.

H. Blin is a co-operative champagne producer located in the village of Vincelles within the Marne Valley. This champagne is a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The colour was green to yellow with a lovely fine bead. The nose was complex autolysed yeast showing some toasty aromas. The palate was delicate and fine with great length and finesse. A wonderful champagne.
