Long on the palate

Champagne aromas linger on the palate.

Tasting

To the eye

A deep, golden color marked by a fine, orchestrated, persistent effervescence, the fruit of slow, long maturation in pigeonholes.

On the nose

The 50% reserve wines give an elegant nose of freshly baked brioche, roasted notes and ripe, sun-kissed fruit - mango, apricot, mirabelle plum - as well as dried fruit, pistachio and almond.

On the palate

The texture evokes the crunch of a layer of nougatine on a melting cream, with fleshy fruits such as plums and cherries. Creaminess is provided by a selection of reserve wines. The finish reveals amber and vanilla notes and a touch of praline.

About this house

The Champagne House of an elegant gentleman entrepreneur, determined to reinvent himself A taste for excellence, audacity 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".
