The new release of Charles Heidsieck non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2010 and was disgorged in 2018, giving this wine plenty of time to develop with time aging sur latte. The bouquet is deep, refined and complex, wafting from the glass in a lovely blend of apple, nectarine, patissière, a touch of hazelnut, a lovely base of chalky soil tones and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with an excellent core of fruit, lovely soil signature, very elegant mousse and a long, poised and perfectly balanced finish. With seven years of aging on its fine lees, this wine is remarkably complex and truly ready to drink upon release, which is all too rare in the world of non-vintage Brut. As is always the case, this is one of the finer non-vintage Bruts on the market today.
