Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires is one of the rarest wines in the fine wine universe. Since the early 1980s, the house has only released seven vintages (1983, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2004, 2006, and 2007.) The exacting standards of its cellar masters ensure that consumers and connoisseurs receive only the most exceptional version of this 100 chardonnay cuvée possible. 

The salinity of Côte des Blancs makes its presence felt from the jump. The minerally tones integrate well with the juicy notes of grapefruit, yuzu, lemon, and quince, along with hints of caramel and freshly cut flowers. Pinpricks of acidity dot the generous body that should gain weight with time. Wine critic James Suckling awarded 2007 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires a 96-point rating, and praised it as “a blanc de blancs from 5 top crus in the Côte des Blancs.”

The Final Sip: With Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires releases coming less frequently than snowstorms in Houston, this Champagne ranks among the rarest of its kind.
