Champagne, brut

Oh-la-la! Tres bien! Dette var interessant. Intens og kompleks nese med bakte sitroner, røde og gule epler, brioche, toast, nøtter, mandler, kransekake, hint av sopp og en flott steinaktig mineralitet. Her skjer det veldig mye. 

I munnen er det en meget rik og bredspektret Champagne med fortryllende og sømløs integrasjon mellom konsentrert frukt og aromaer fra autolyse og lagring. Rikdommen føles aldri vulgær eller påtrengende da den balanseres av god syrestruktur og en veldig kremet og deilig mousse som gir et «spritet» løft i munnen. Meget god lengde. En fantastisk Champagne som er i drikkevinduet sitt nå og en god del år fremover. Glad jeg har flere flasker!

WSET 2

MAG til samme pris som en ordinær strl NV Krug på polet - et morsomt kjøp. Moden, utviklet, intens, erkeklassisk årgangschampagne med masse toast, meget fruktig og masse syre. 

Kanskje en av de kuleste vinene å kjøpe nå og åpne om 5-10 år.

Heidsieck 2006: A product of legends

House: Charles Heidsieck (Reims)
Bottle: Vintage 2006
Grapes: 58 % Pinot Noir & 42 % Chardonnay
Dosage: 10 g/L (Brut) 

The Maison of Charles Heidsieck needs no introduction, and neither does Régis Camus, the Chef de Cave at Heidsieck in 2006 – but I will give you guys one anyway!

Régis Camus was appointed cellar master of Charles Heidsieck when legend Daniel Thibault, whom he had worked with at Heidsieck since 1994, passed away in 2002. Régis filled out the void and held his own by winning no less than 8 awards as Sparking Winemaker of the Year (IWC). No wonder this vintage has such class. 

2006 was a quite good year led on by a good beginning to the summer as well as absence of any frost in spring. August was more unstable and quite rainy, but September was unusually good leading to a four-week harvest in champagne, which is highly unusual (long). Most prestige cuvées are made in 2006, including the bigger brother to this one, the Blanc des Millénaires 2006. 

This bottle was disgorged January 2018 which means that it had roughly 11 years on the lees! For a non-prestige, that is just madness. That is more than many prestige cuvées, including Cristal, Dom Perginon, Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill etc. 

Characteristics:

On the nose, it is fresh. Incredibly fresh considering its age and date of disgorgement. Soon, however, it transitions into a more full and fatty density with some buttery and toasted notes. This is accompanied by some of the CH-signature “hay-ish” notes as well as summery white flowers and light and flinty notes. 

On the palate, it comes across a bit thin and feeble kindly reminding one not to be hasty – give it time. After 15 minutes, it opens properly and takes its proper posture and creamy texture with an acidic touch, the CH-toast and some mild minerality and saltiness. 

Value for money: 8 of 10 
Rating: 91 🍾

En frisk og freidig champagne med nydelig struktur og fin-fin balanse. 
Masse deilige dufter med madelkake, modne epler og hint av appelsin. 
Flott mousse og bra med bobler. Nydelig champagne. 

Certified Sommelier

The color is quite yellow, but not more than one should expect from an over 30 year old Champagne. The nose has ripe yellow fruit, with yellow apples, dried mango, prunes and caramel. The autolysis has elegant coffee aromas. It is incredibly complex and appealing. The palate is intensely fruity, medium-bodied, with a lovely mousse, and with a fine balancing acidity. The finish is very long and complex. I've had a couple of these before, but this is by far the best bottle. It provided a lovely pairing with caviar. 97 points.

25 % av avlingen ble frostskadet - 55 % pinot noir og 45 % chardonnay - ble bedre med luft- svak sopp, gul frukt og høy årgangstypisk syre, delikat mousse, intens - caviarkiller (93)
