About this wine

The 1981 La Collection Crayeres Brut Millesime is a testament to the exceptional craft of Champagne making at Charles Heidsieck. This vintage Champagne, presented in a 300cl bottle, offers a sophisticated blend that reflects the unique character of the 1981 harvest. It's a harmonious composition of richness and finesse, with nuanced expressions of fruit, minerality, and aged notes. This 1981 vintage offers a complex bouquet of ripe fruit, toasted almonds, and a hint of honey, leading to a palate that balances acidity with richness. Notes of brioche, citrus, and a minerally finish showcase the elegance and depth of this Champagne.
