Above the skies somwhere between Paris and New York we recently had the opportunity to test the Air France selection of champagnes. Jacquart for economy class and Charles Heidsieck for first class.
The Jacquart was ok, the Charles Heidsieck was - as always when I've tried it - truely nice. The houses describes it, on its rather tiresome website as full, warm and vivid with fine, elegant bubbles.
Charles Heidsieck did win its 22nd and 23rd distinctions of the year in this years International Wine Challenge competition for the vintage Champagne Charlie 1981 and for the version of the year of the non-vintage brut.
So, where do you find Charles Heidsieck in Denmark? Well, that's a good question. Surfing the net, I only find it in the Copenhagen neighbourhood of Amager. 10 points for Gunnar Madsen in Holmbladsgade, who sells Charles Heidsieck, and big surprise, that no one else seems to sell this truly great champagne.
