International trophy: Sparkling over £15
Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires 1995, Champagne, France
(White – Sparkling)
Very toasty, with cashew nut richness and a honeyed nose showing apricot, dried flowers and coffee hints. Deliciously smooth and opulent with a lovely mouthfeel and fine mousse. Fabulous, big and individual style.
