This is an utterly charming and noble Saint-Émilion

when the normal production should have been around 100

but on July 19th everything changed and the year was saved by some 40 liters of rain

Charles Heidsieck, Brut Millesime other_regions This is an utterly charmingDisgorged in 2019 with eight grams per liter dosage, the 2012 Brut Millsim 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.
