Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve

This is the most perfect expression of the Charles Heidsieck style: at the same time unctuous, round and vivacious, wines with an elegant complexity. They embody the main qualities of the House, the multiple facets of its know-how.

Charles Heidsieck is a Champagne on the up. Its popularity has increased massively over the last couple of decades. The main source of the success is the Brut Reserve, a great non-vintage Champagne.

95 POINTS - "Charles "Champagne Charlie" Heidsieck was one of the first to recognize the importance of the U.S. as a Champagne market-the rest is history. Long, bright, toasty and yeasty; stunning." - Tasting Panel

94 POINTS - "The Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve Champagne exhibits tremendous complexity. The wine, with its extended aging of more than 36 months, and its use of 40% reserve wines, is built to be formidable on all fronts. Fully-textured, the long and lively finish makes this bubbly complete and memorable. Drinks very well now." - Wilfred Wong

93 POINTS - "This vibrant version shows a range of toasted brioche, baked cherry, crystalized honey, grated ginger and coconut flavors, remaining light-footed and lively throughout. Beautifully balanced, with a lasting, mouthwatering finish." - Wine Spectator

92 POINTS - "This ripe Champagne is deliciously balanced between the rich white fruits and good acidity. Zingy texture gives it a crisp edge. Full, fruity and with the ability to age, it is ready to drink." - Wine Enthusiast

A deep golden robe. Delicate vivacious and long-lasting bubbles, are the result of more than 36 months of ageing in chalk cellars. With 40% of reserve wines (the maximum possible amount), the blend offers a complex, voluptuous nose with notes of freshly baked brioche and the richness of roasted coffee beans. A precise selection of wines, purposely limited to 60 crus, ensures the Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve a deliciously sophisticated harmony. An opulent selection of ripe, sun-drenched fruits such as mango, apricot and greengage plum combines with dried fruits, pistachio and almond. The texture is reminiscent of a crisp layer of nougatine on a velvety cream pastry filled with plump red plums and ripe cherries. The reserve wines, some dating back ten years give the wine lushness. The depth of the thousand-year old chalk quarries where the wine matures offer a touch of praline along with notes of amber and vanilla.
