Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires Brut in Gift Box 2006

Why This Gift

To the eye, a deep golden hue with glints of light green, invoking an image of sunshine playing on leaves. On the nose, floral notes of violets and acacia lead into deeper notes of blood orange and finally a hint of the Mediterranean maquis. Remarkable texture is the special signature of Blanc des Mill naires. Beginning with a saline and chalky texture, the palate moves into creamy notes of nougat, citrus and whipped cream, with a round and generous finish, almost glowing with toasted accents. A textbook blanc de blancs in a relatively opulent style, with ample grilled nut, brioche and spice character alongside classic flavors of poached apricot, kumquat, oyster shell and lemon blossom. This rich profile is well-defined by racy acidity, sleek and well-cut, driving the long, lacy finish. A beauty. Rippling with ripe stone-fruit and citrus aromas, plus notes of buttered toast and chalk, this is both powerful and mouthwatering, with enough structure to carry its imposing stature. The lemony finish is at once creamy and saline. A Blanc de Blancs from 5 top Crus in the C te des Blancs. Drink now. Recently disgorged with seven grams per liter dosage, the 2006 Brut Blanc de Blancs Blanc des Mill naires is expressive and charming, in keeping with the sunny, demonstrative style of the vintage. Offering up aromas of toasted brioche, honeycomb, yellow apples and preserved citrus, it's full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with a rich core of fruit, ripe acids and an attractive pinpoint mousse. It's already drinking well, and I'd be inclined to approach it sooner than the more tightly wound 2004 rendition.
