Not Sick of Heidsieck

I am not usually one for champagne. I do not like the fuzzy nature, the sweetness, nor lack of signature flavors, and the frilly nature associated with it. But in time, all must reconcile their differences and see things for what they are. Champagne therapy you say? Not quite. Most of it is still crap. For the champagne that will displace my wine glass or Belgian beer glass, it has to be spectacular. Usually, ones I have considered have been from France. As so with this.

Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Champagne is worth drinking when you want a great bottle of champagne. It is dry with a powerful body, upfront biscuit like flavors with hints of light orchard fruit. The flavors are well integrated and constantly develop on the palate. This one stays in my list of champagnes worthy of the wallet.
