1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires Champagne

96 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

“Drunk from a bottle that was disgorged in 2016, the 1995 Blanc des Millenaires continues to show very well, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of waxy citrus rind, dried pear, walnut oil, warm bread and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's full-bodied, enveloping and chalky, with a rich and muscular core, lively acids and a long, precise finish. Impeccably balanced, this is a cuvée I have drunk on many occasions and which used to be well-represented in my own cellar, but this is as good a bottle as I have ever encountered.”

98 Points - Panel Tasting, Falstaff

“Smoke, salted caramel and white truffle with an edge of butter and mango make for a most compelling, mature nose. The palate has intense concentration and a freshness that is like a pure essence of yellow grapefruit zest with all its alluring bitterness, with its pithy depth of flavour, with its richness and directness of essential oil. This is hair-raising and rich, linear and direct, quite simply an exquisite experience. The finish endless. Wonderful.”
