Rather than typifying a style, Blanc des Millénaires is more of a signature, an emotion that one feels. The cuvée demonstrates the art of blending the finest, purest terroirs. Just five villages, one Premier Cru and four Grands Crus make up this champagne: Vertus, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant.

Selected for their ability to develop and fully express their organoleptic opulence once mature, they create an extraordinary sensory composition.

The Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 2014 is a champagne that exudes elegance and complexity. On the nose, it offers a captivating bouquet of white flowers, fresh citrus, and subtle hints of toasted almonds. As you take your first sip, the palate is greeted with a vibrant acidity that perfectly balances the rich flavors of ripe pear, crisp apple, and a touch of honeyed brioche. The fine, persistent bubbles enhance the wine's creamy texture, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with whispers of chalk and saline. This vintage is a testament to the house's mastery in crafting a champagne that is both refined and expressive, making it a delightful choice for any special occasion.

Charles Heidsieck is one of Champagne's finest Grand Marques. The House was founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the original ‘Champagne Charlie’ who inspired George Leybourne’s famous song. Charles Heidsieck’s modern fame rests on the unrivalled quality of their wines, which receive countless awards and accolades year after year. This success can be attributed to the talented winemakers who’ve crafted their champagnes over the past three decades. Between them, Daniel Thibault, Régis Camus, Thierry Roset and Cyril Brun have been awarded ‘Sparkling Winemaker of the Year’ at the International Wine Challenge sixteen times. No other house has won more than twice. The winemaking team is now led by Elise Losfelt, who succeeded Cyril Brun as cellar master in March 2023.

All of Charles Heidsieck’s champagnes are carefully aged in their UNESCO recognised ‘Crayères’ chalk cellars beneath Reims. Comprising several kilometres of interconnected galleries, these cathedral-like cellars were dug out by the Romans over 2000 years ago and were purchased by Charles-Camille in 1867.

In 2022, Charles Heidsieck was one of the first Grand Marques, alongside Piper-Heidsieck, to achieve B-Corp Certification, illustrating an ongoing commitment to improving both their social and environmental impact on the planet.
