Verified customer reviewWell done
My first order, and certainly not my last. A lovely balance between liveliness and roundness. I highly recommend it.

Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The proportion of Chardonnay brings a citrus-driven tension and a lively minerality that runs through the entire tasting experience.
Roundness
Reserve wines averaging a decade in age meld the texture into a rich, creamy, and ample body.
Depth
The presence of Pinot Noir imparts body and depth without ever weighing down the overall finesse.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of brioche and toasted almonds, delivering a remarkably persistent aromatic signature.
TASTING NOTES
The colour is golden with luminous highlights, animated by a fine and persistent mousse. The nose opens on notes of buttered brioche, white fruits (golden apple, pear) and subtle vanilla accents derived from partial ageing in old Burgundian oak casks. On the palate, the attack is creamy and round, underpinned by a fresh acidity that carries aromas of citrus and toasted almonds through to a long, elegant finish.

Terroirs
A blend of 60 crus from across the whole of Champagne, marrying wines of the current vintage with reserve wines (up to 40%, average age 10 years) to safeguard the house's consistent signature. A cru-by-cru, grape-by-grape vinification, with 5 to 10% aged in old Burgundian oak casks, enriches the overall complexity.
About this house
Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck — the legendary 'Champagne Charlie' — the house was built on audacity and a love of travel, introducing Champagne to the American market in its very early years.
Today led by chef de cave Cyril Brun, Charles Heidsieck is recognised worldwide for its unique reserve wine system, the 'Réserve Perpétuelle', which lends each cuvée a depth and complexity far beyond its base vintage.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Its delicate bubbles and creamy texture make it the perfect partner for warm Comté gougères.
Starter
The citrus-driven freshness of the Chardonnay responds with elegance to the briny delicacy of a sea bass carpaccio with olive oil.
Main course
The roundness and brioche notes of the Brut Réserve harmonise beautifully with the earthy, silky character of a morel mushroom risotto.
