Charles Heidsieck Millesime Rose 2012 Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV Charles HeidsieckImpressed but my wallet isn't
Had this at a friend's birthday dinner and it blew me away — way more structure than most rosé Champagnes I've tried. Really balanced, not too fruity, not too dry. Tracked a bottle down afterwards but £129 is steep so it'll stay a treat rather than a regular buy.
Worth every penny for a special night
Bought this for our anniversary and it was genuinely stunning. Really layered and complex — you keep noticing new things as you drink it. The finish just lingers in the best way. At £129 it's not cheap but honestly felt worth it for the occasion.
Really good but not sure it's £129 good
Tried this at a tasting event and it's definitely quality stuff. Nice precise acidity, proper backbone to it, and the finish hangs around for ages. My only gripe is the price — there are solid vintage Champagnes out there for less. Still, if someone else is buying, absolutely say yes.
Best rosé Champagne I've had
The guy at my local wine shop talked me into this and I'm so glad he did. It's so composed and elegant without being boring — the acidity is spot on and it just keeps giving. I don't throw 10s around lightly but this earned it.
