2019 Château Beaulieu Classic Rosé

Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2020

“The 2019 Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Rose is a blend of 40% Grenache, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 5% Mourvèdre. The Cabernet imparts a slight leafiness to the nose, but this is a clean, crisp, citrusy rosé, light to medium-bodied on the palate, with a refreshing finish.”

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, December 2021

“A toasty rosé Champagne, rich with hints of coffee liqueur and grilled nut, but framed by chiseled acidity that focuses the range of flavor, including baked raspberry, nectarine, candied ginger and verbena. Long and creamy, with a finely-detailed mousse. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Disgorged 2020. Drink now through 2026. 510 cases imported.”

2005 Charles Heidsieck Rosé Millésimé

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

“Pale in color, but rich in texture and fruit, this wonderfully mature rosé is structured from 70% Pinot Noir in the blend. There is a nutty character to the wine that springs from the wine's richness and the mellifluous aging of the red fruits. Drink this very fine Champagne now.”

2008 Charles Heidsieck Brut Millésimé

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

“Editor's Choice. Aged for 10 years on its lees before disgorgement, this impressive vintage Champagne is perfectly mature. The touches of maturity have moved the wine into richness, the fruit and acidity filling out and deepening. This is a great Champagne from a great vintage, ready to drink.”

2008 Charles Heidsieck Brut Millésimé

William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2019

“Disgorged in February 2019 with eight grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Brut Millésimé unfurls in the glass with beautiful aromas of citrus oil, crisp green apple, linden, fresh walnuts and warm bread. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with a deep and layered core that integrates its racy spine of acidity, excellent concentration and a long, delicately nutty finish. Impeccably balanced, this is Heidsieck's finest vintage bottling since the 1980s.”

2006 Charles Heidsieck Brut Millésimé

William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2019

“The 2006 Brut Millésimé spent nine years on the lees and was disgorged in 2017 with ten grams per liter dosage. The wine expresses the sunny vintage, exhibiting generous aromas of mirabelle plum, crisp yellow orchard fruit, confit citrus, toasted nuts and dried white flowers. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and mouthfilling, with a youthfully boisterous but elegant mousse, a fleshy core of fruit and a rich, expansive finish. This is a gourmand vintage of Heidsieck's vintage Brut, and it will be best enjoyed at table; it will age more on its concentration and extract than its acidity. The blend is a classic 59% Pinot Noir and 41% Chardonnay.”

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

“An extra touch of aging before disgorgement has given this Champagne a fine balance. Hints of toast as well as tight acidity have come from the equal blend of the three main grapes. The fruitiness is still very present, offering crisp citrus to balance the edge of maturity. Drink now.”

2004 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

“Cellar Selection. This is an iteration of a legendary Champagne. Perfectly balanced, still packed with white fruit but just touching nuttiness, the wine is at its peak. Celebrating one of the great Champagne vintages of this century, this wine is totally memorable and magnificent.”

2004 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, December 2020

“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. Drink now through 2035. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 4,500 cases made, 185 cases imported.”

1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2019

“Drunk from a bottle that was disgorged in 2016, the 1995 Blanc des Millenaires continues to show very well, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of waxy citrus rind, dried pear, walnut oil, warm bread and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's full-bodied, enveloping and chalky, with a rich and muscular core, lively acids and a long, precise finish. Impeccably balanced, this is a cuvée I have drunk on many occasions and which used to be well-represented in my own cellar, but this is as good a bottle as I have ever encountered. In the plenitude of full-maturity, now is a great time to pop corks.”

2004 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires

William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2019

“Disgorged in November 2017 after 13 years on the lees, the stunning 2004 Blanc des Millénaires is a worthy successor to the 1995. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of green apple, pear, brioche and fresh pastry that are framed by a lovely smoky, autolytic top note, the wine is full-bodied, ample and concentrated, with ripe acids, superb depth at the core and a textural, vinous quality while remaining very classical in profile. The finish is long and expansive. A blend of Chardonnay from Cramant, Avize, Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Vertus, it saw nine grams per liter dosage. This is a terrific blanc de blancs from Charles Heidsieck that has a long and glorious future ahead of it. Sadly, the price of this cuvée has finally caught up with the quality.”

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

“Editor's Choice. Fruit from the Côte des Blancs weaves its usual magic of minerality and a tense texture. That combines with touch of toastiness, the ripe citrus fruits and the wine's great balance. This is a beautiful Champagne, ready to drink.”
