Charles Heidsieck 香檳中美麗與哀愁
酒廠介紹: 提到Charles Heidsieck 就必須提及帶領酒廠進入輝煌時代不可或缺的首席釀酒師Daniel Thibaut (2002年因癌症往生,獲得6次年度最佳釀酒師International Wine Challenge’s Sparkling Winemaker),之後由Regis Camus負責監督管理Piper Heidsieck和Charles Heidsieck兩大酒廠,而後任命Thierry Roset為首席釀酒師(2014年因中風離開人間),目前由Cyril Brun為首席釀酒師(曾在Veuve Clicquot工作15年)。由於酒廠財政經營困難,2011年EPI(Europeenne de Participation Industrielle)收購至旗下。
Daniel Thibaut對Heidsieck香檳最偉大的貢獻之一就是引進了酒窖裝瓶Mis en Cave為理念,酒標背面上標示的就是該酒是在酒窖中進行二次發酵、除渣和放入地下室的陳年的年份。
新經營者著重方向:長時間在白堊岩礦石地下室放置陳年和釀造高品質珍藏型香檳。雖依造法規定的最短陳年期限是 15 個月,但在發售之前,將陳年香檳的平均酒齡由八年增加到十年,陳年香檳佔40%。增加NV香檳複雜度。

Tasting Note : This focused rosé Champagne offers a mousse with the texture of raw silk, which swathes the firm frame in layers of roasted hazelnut, baked peach, toasted brioche and crème de cassis flavors, with a rich and smoky underpinning and accents of candied kumquat, espresso and ground ginger and cumin that expand on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 120 cases imported. –AN

Tasting Note : Deep, pure and fresh on the fruit-intense and complex nose, the 1995 Blanc des Millenaires is still young and incredibly fresh on the palate. This is refreshingly pure, concentrated, fruity and perfectly round Champagne that reveals a great tension and mineral complexity. It also has a long and salty finish. Keep it for ten or 20 years.
