This unusual vintage so befitting of Chardonnay has a wonderful future ahead of it: Charles Heidsieck has chosen it as the seventh cuvée of Blanc des Millénaires and it is polar opposite from its predecessor of 2006.Because if every cuvée is the exclusive product of great Chardonnays from iconic terroirs exceptional for their incomparable texture aromatic complexity and ability to mature each one will develop its own personality linked to the organoleptic profile of its vintage year.

The Blanc des Millénaires 2007 is a pale gold colour with glints of light green typical of Chardonnay and in contrast to the previous 2006 vintage. The nose displays fresh grapefruit and yuzu citrus notes along with quince delicate smoke and buttery caramel hints. On the palate the identity of the vintage is evident with a sharp and classy acidity. An enveloping texture is then revealed with accents of lemon meringue pie and subtle saline notes. The generosity of this cuvée is prominent and will continue to develop with ageing. The finish is long and full
- bodied with silky sensations.
