The Structure
Discover the structure of this Champagne
Freshness
Harmonious balance between the various components of acidity.
Roundness
Supple, easy-drinking champagne, the acidity doesn't clash with the palate.
Power
Generous champagne with great intensity.
Long on the palate
Champagne aromas linger on the palate.
Tasting
To the eye
The first impression is of a pale, crystalline gold with some of the reflections typical of the Chardonnay grape variety.
On the nose
Ripe Chardonnay aromas emerge: vine peach, candied citrus, with hints of lime blossom, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnuts. A second nose reveals subtle notes of tangerine and lemon.
On the palate
Freshness and tension are wrapped up in this typically Charles generosity: the attack is frank, pure, without aggressiveness, with a smoothness almost atypical for a Blanc de Blancs often defined as more angular than creamy. The balanced finish is surprisingly mineral and saline.

Terroirs
Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne
For this cuvée, only the juice from the first press is used, and the wines benefit from a prolonged maturation period of 3 to 4 years in Crayères Millénaires, well beyondAppelation standards.
About this house
The House of an elegant gentleman entrepreneur, determined to reinvent himself A taste for excellence, boldness and witty elegance - this daring, very French harmony is the hallmark of Charles-Camille Heidsieck himself, the "aupanache" founder of his House. At the age of 29, Charles-Camille Heidsieck founded his own Champagne House. Pragmatic, he concentrated on the wine-making and maturing processes. In 1852, Charles Heidsieck left for America. The man knew how to make a place for himself in the very closed circle of American elites. Much appreciated, he even earned the nickname " Champagne Charlie".
