Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve (Base 2012)
"Low-key nose but lots of layers on the palate. Really first class. Lacy texture and intriguing, tightly laced and embroidered. Very well done! Good tension." Jancis Robinson MW
"Aromas of warm brioche, grilled peaches and lemon curd flirt with flinty, smoky nuances. The effervescence is subtle, nipped in, refined. Toasted cashews and sweet vanilla cream. Whipped lemon cream, apple pie and lemon rind flavours linger on the finish. Base wine: 2012. Reserve wine: 36%. Drink 2022-2027." Decanter, November 2022
