ABOUT THIS WINE
The Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Millénaires 2014 is a Blanc de Blancs Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. It is sourced from five Crus in the Côte des Blancs, including Grand Cru villages like Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, and Oger, along with Vertus Premier Cru. The wine's name, meaning 'White of Millennia,' refers to its maturation in the producer's ancient chalk cellars. This cuvée is the eighth release of its kind since 1983 and represents a significant investment in time, with the 2014 vintage spending approximately eight to nine years aging on its lees before being disgorged in 2023.
