Only fruit from 7 Grand Cru vineyards is used to craft a blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which spends over 4 years ageing on lees plus 6 months post disgorgement. Further gentle ageing takes place until deemed ready for release by the Cellar Master. It displays mature citrus characters, fresh white and red fruits and gentle spice, all linked by a common thread of minerality producing complexity, elegance and length.

Charles Heidsieck was one of the very first Champagne Houses to demonstrate its passion for Chardonnay by producing a Blanc de Blancs in its 1949 vintage. There is also evidence that the Maison had produced some mono-crus from the Côte des Blancs as early as1906... Through this cuvée, relaunched in 2018, two of the House’s areas of expertise come together: the production of great white wines and the art of blending a large selection of wines from different years and terroirs. The considerable challenge is to make opposites coexist: the tautness and the freshness of young chardonnays on the one hand, and the silky “Charles” character on the other. The Blanc de Blancs is the result of a very selective blend of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Cote de Sezanne and Montgueux. The cuvée base 2016 is composed of 10 crus of Chardonnay, the most sought-after grapes in the region. For this cuvée, only the juice from the first press are used and, the wines benefit from a slow and long maturation of 3 to 4 years, far beyond the norms of the region. From the bottle to glass, this champagne is a pale, crystalline gold colour with glints of the Chardonnay varietal. On the nose the aromas of mature Chardonnay can be recognised initially: white peach, candied citrus with hints of lime, fresh hazelnut and honeysuckle, giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon citrus. On the palate freshness an tautness mark this as almost unconventionally suave for a blanc de blanc, so often characterised as being sharp rather than creamy. The harmonious finish offers a surprising minerality and a slight salinity.

Product Description: A pale red with serious intent—Jura in all its ethereal glory. Domaine du Pélican’s 2023 Poulsard is as beguiling as the grape itself: translucent in the glass yet full of energy, character, and gastronomic charm. Made from old vines across Arbois and Montigny-lès-Arsures, including parcels once tended by Jura icon Jacques Puffeney, this cuvée has become a staple of the estate since 2015. Vinified gently with full destemming and no punch-downs, then aged in stainless steel to preserve freshness, this is a wine that embraces its light hue and expressive aromatic profile. The 2023 vintage, shaped by a warm end to the season, delivers lifted red berries, rose petals, and earthy spice. Don’t let the colour fool you—there’s depth and precision beneath the surface. Best served slightly chilled, this Poulsard plays beautifully with charcuterie, mushroom risotto, or a classic roast quail. Also a joy to drink solo, when its gossamer touch and layered aromatics really shine. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and floral Strawberries, dried roses and a whiff of liquorice, underpinned by earthy spice and crushed herbs. PALATE – Silken and savoury Delicate yet vibrant, with cranberry and wild strawberry flavours, fine tannins, and subtle herbal lift. FINISH – Lingering and graceful Airy and aromatic, fading slowly with notes of red tea, florals, and soft spice.
