Experience the Charles Heidsieck Collection Crayères, three special and unique releases of old vintages directly from the house's cellars in Reims. A wine lover's dream.

Vintage 1990
The exceptional vintage Champagne from 1990 presents itself with a golden color with copper glints and a fine string of persistent bubbles that slowly rise to the surface, testifying to the wine's age and elegance. The fragrance is complex and nuanced, with an initial scent of wood, truffles and light tobacco, followed by fruity notes of candied quince and blueberry. Light touches of licorice, nougat and caramel add depth. The taste is rich and creamy in texture, with an elegant balance between freshness and age. The taste is dominated by the ripe fruit notes of quince and blueberry, accompanied by hints of toasted wood and a slightly smoky undernote. The mid-palate reveals subtle notes of caramel and nougat, leading to a long and complex finish with a lingering minerality.

Vintage 1996
Golden in the glass with bright sparkles and fine bubbles. The fragrance is full of pleasant toasted notes that blend harmoniously with deep and intense notes of sun-ripened stone fruit, generous touches of spices and toast. The palate is fantastically complex with an abundance of layers, where sun-ripened peaches and apricots dance together with refined flavors of coffee, whipped cream, brioche, browned butter and honey. A creamy texture is complemented by fine, citrusy minerality that adds an elegant balance to the wine. The long and persistent aftertaste ends with a crisp, miner lask finish.

Vintage 2000
This vintage Champagne from 2000 presents itself with golden glints in the glass with fine bubbles that slowly flow upwards. The fragrance is full of pleasant toasted notes that mix with intense aromas of ripe fruits. The fragrance profile is complex and generous with light spicy nuances. Notes of toasted spices add further depth. The taste is impressive and complex, with dominant notes of sun-ripened apricot notes that mingle with complex flavors of coffee with whipped cream, warm wheat bread, brown butter, ginger and honey. The mid-palate offers a creamy texture and a fine minerality that contributes to the wine's balance. The long and persistent finish is spiced with a slightly peppery note that leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
