Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A precisely chiselled acidity, the signature of Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs, brings tension and brilliance.
Roundness
The generous proportion of reserve wines lends a characteristically creamy, enveloping texture.
Body
A full, expansive structure underpinned by Pinot Noirs from the grand crus of the Montagne de Reims.
Length
A persistent finish of warm brioche, gentle spice and candied citrus.

TASTING NOTES

Pale golden robe with warm gilded highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is generously expressive, weaving warm brioche, white-fleshed fruits (peach, pear) and delicate toasted notes — the hallmark of reserve wines aged in the house's celebrated solera library. The palate is broad and creamy, at once fresh and vinous, with an elegant finish of candied citrus and dried fruits.

Terroirs

A blend of 50 to 60 crus drawn from the four great zones of Champagne — Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs and Côte des Bar — enriched with 40% reserve wines held in the house's solera library, a true aromatic memory spanning several decades.

Charles Heidsieck

About this house

Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck — the flamboyant 'Champagne Charlie' who conquered America on horseback — the house built its reputation on cuvées of extraordinary generosity and complexity. Its philosophy rests on an exceptional solera library of reserve wines, assembled over the years to guarantee the aromatic signature of each cuvée.

Named 'Champagne House of the Year' by Wine Enthusiast on multiple occasions, Charles Heidsieck embodies a pursuit of vinous complexity over mere freshness. Now under the stewardship of Chef de Caves Élise Losfelt, the house continues the legacy of its singular formula: 60 crus, 40% reserve wines, depth and character assured.
