CHARLES HEIDSIECK Brut Réserve NV

(Champagne, France) $69

An exquisite classic Champagne. Elegant waves of brioche and apple tart flavors, lit up by sparks of minerality. Rich, yeasty aroma but as alive as lightning on the palate. Exuberantly fresh and fine, with miniscule bubbles that are crystalline. All in all, a Champagne you won’t want to put down (and perfect for tonight, Valentine’s night). Charles Heidsieck is one of the great traditional Houses, but it isn’t showy and doesn’t do a lot of flashy PR. It’s an “insider” Champagne. And insiders know that this Reserve over delivers.
