Charles Heidsieck Brut 2012

The Charles Heidsieck Brut 2012 has an aroma of roasted hazelnuts, brioche and lemon.  The palate is characterised by vanilla, brioche, coffee beans and yellow fruit. It is already drinking well.

94 William Kelley roberparker.com Disgorged in 2019 with eight grams per liter dosage, the 2012 Brut Millésimé offers up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and clear honey, complemented by hints of toasted bread, citrus zest and linden. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly fleshy and nicely concentrated, with lively acids and a pinpoint mousse, it's more generous and demonstrative than the 2008, but it will nonetheless reward a bit of bottle age.
