Charles Heidsieck Rated Top Rosé Champagne by Decanter

The experts at Decanter in London rated 99 bottles of rosé Champagne in a recent panel tasting at Decanter HQ in London. The top rated? Charles Heidsieck Rosé Reserve NV with 95 points! It was the only Champagne in the tasting classed as “Outstanding”, followed by 8 rated as “Highly Recommended”.
Blind tasted by Michael Edwards, Simon Field MW and Xavier Rousset MS, the Champagne was described as, “Onion skin colour in the glass with an alluring nose of citrus and hints of honeyed autolysis. Dark fruit elements and hints of black pepper. This is complex and classy, and evidence of very skillful winemaking.
There is a whisper of savoury decadence garlanding the finish.”
