The Story

These cuvées are truly exceptional, as they are made up solely of wines from the same year. These years (1983, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2004, 2006, 2007) are recognized as extraordinary by our cellar masters and selected with extreme care for their unusual maturation capacities.

Blanc de Millénaires is a masterpiece cuvée from the Côte des Blancs in a legendary vintage. 
17 years’ worth of complexity and yet so fresh.

Vintage 1983

Champagne: The 1983 vintage was one of the decade’s most mature vintages and is at its best today.

    This vintage was not born without pain, either. If the 1982 winter was cold and the spring cool, then this year it was many more times so. The damp and flowering.

Written Notes

Heidsieck's new cuvée de prestige is a constant winner at blind tastings all over the world. I'm less impressed by the deep yellow drink with its fine but rather miserly classical nose and buttery Chardonnay flavor. Clean and attractive, like a well-produced American West Coast rock album.

Disgorged 1991. Debut vintage (Blanc de Blancs 1981 was a prototype). This was an underrated vintage, according to Cyril Brun. 
Darker even than the 1990. Very vibrant nose, real intensity and verve. Nicely balanced and beautifully mannered. Entrancing. Definitely not going to get better but it’s absolutely lovely now. Very fine acidity counterbalanced by just the right amount of fruit and creaminess. Superb!

Golden, tiny bubbles. More mature than the 85, feels somewhat riper with nuts, dried fruits and still some yeasty notes. Fresh and lively acidity, not as tight as some, complex, layered and very long.
