Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve

Complex, profound and indulgent, the Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve has been given the gift of time, as one discovers upon tasting it. The House specifies on each bottle the year of cellaring and of disgorgement to advise connoisseurs on the cellar aging process. The rare, thousand-year-old Crayères, purchased by Charles Heidsieck in 1867, inspired the large base and narrow neck of the new silhouette for the non-vintage wine bottles. This unique shape increases the volume of wine in contact with the lees, thereby enhancing its aromatic range and the complexity of the Brut Réserve.

With 40% of reserve wines, the blend offers a complex, voluptuous nose with notes of freshly baked brioche and the richness of toasted notes and sun-drenched fruits - mango, apricot and greengage plum- along with a touch of dried fruits, pistachio, and almond. The meticulous selection of crus ensures the delicious and sophisticated harmony of this champagne.

The texture is reminiscent of a crisp layer of nougatine on a velvety cream pastry filled with plump, red plums and ripe cherries. The reserve wines, some dating back more than 15 years, give the wine lushness. The depth of the two-thousand-year-old chalk cellars where the wine matures offer a touch of praline along with glazed notes and vanilla.
