Disgorged in November 2017 after 13 years on the lees, the stunning 2004 Blanc des
Millenaires is a worthy successor to the 1995. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of greenapple, 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 anda textural, vinous quality while remaining very classical in profile. The finish is long andexpansive. 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 thathas a long and glorious future ahead of it. Sadly, the price of this cuvee has finally caughtup with the quality.
