Charles Heidsieck, Reserve Mise En Cave other_regions_australia And all of the vineyards

And all of the vineyards were ripening at the same time

I was mildly surprised to find a bit of reduction in the bottled version though not enough to completely hide the otherwise ripe

chiseled finish

but a lovely auslese

Subtle minerality with excellent structure

Charles Heidsieck, Reserve Mise En Cave other_regions_australia And all of the vineyards(L6042811646) Green gold. Vibrant citrus and pear aromas, with complicating herbal and floral accents. A chewy, medium bodied Champagne with orange and lemon flavors, a hint of smoke and a buttery note that carries through the finish. Nicely balanced between bright and rich qualities, and persistent on the aftertaste. Josh Raynolds
