Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A finely chiselled freshness, carried by the Chardonnays from Oger, which gracefully balances the generosity of the reserve wines.
Roundness
Velvety richness is the absolute hallmark: 40% reserve wines melt on the palate like a nougatine cream.
Body
A broad and structured body, the fruit of a blend of 60 crus and an extended ageing of 3 to 4 years in the chalk cellars.
Length
A persistent finish with accents of amber, vanilla and praline — the hallmark of great cuvées with aged reserve wines.

TASTING NOTES

Deep gold in colour with amber glints, traversed by a fine and persistent effervescence — the hallmark of an extended ageing in Gallo-Roman chalk cellars. On the nose, an elegant and generous complexity: warm brioche, toasted notes, sun-ripened fruits — mango, apricot, mirabelle plum — lifted by hints of pistachio and almond. On the palate, the texture is melting and creamy, reminiscent of a thin, crisp layer of nougatine over a silky cream, with fleshy fruits (plum, cherry) and a lingering finish with accents of amber, vanilla and praline.

Terroirs

A blend of 60 crus spanning the length and breadth of Champagne: Chardonnay from Oger (Côte des Blancs), Pinot Noir from Ambonnay (Montagne de Reims), Meunier from Verneuil (Vallée de la Marne). The key to the house style lies in an exceptional proportion of 40% reserve wines — some aged over 20 years, part-vinified in old Burgundy barrels — ensuring the aromatic depth and velvety richness that set the house apart.

Charles Heidsieck

About this house

Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck — the legendary 'Champagne Charlie', a flamboyant ambassador who conquered the United States on horseback — the house has built its reputation on the art of reserve wines and its Gallo-Roman chalk cellars, two thousand years old, where its champagnes are aged well beyond the appellation minimums.

Acquired by the EPI group in 2011, Charles Heidsieck enjoys renewed creative freedom under the stewardship of cellar master Cyril Brun. The house is regularly crowned 'Best Brut NV' by leading international references — Wine Spectator, Robert Parker — confirming the singularity of a style in which depth, generosity and precision are one.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif

Aperitif

Its fine bubbles and brioche notes come into their own as an aperitif alongside comté gougères, where the warmth of the melted cheese draws out the velvety roundness of the Brut Réserve.

Starter

Starter

The velvety richness and toasted aromas of the Brut Réserve pair in perfect harmony with foie gras — a timeless, classic match at the great tables of Champagne.

Main course

Main course

The aromatic richness and persistence of this champagne elevate truffle-roasted poultry, whose earthy notes and velvety texture respond beautifully to the depth of the aged reserve wines.
