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".
