The Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve is the very quintessence of the Charles Heidsieck style. Easily recognizable, this wine is the fruit of a unique blend that can be summarized in one equation: 60/40/10.
60: is the number of hand-selected crus for a blend that is precise, crisp and tailor-made. Wines produced in the harvest year, a third for each variety (Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), are vinified cru by cru, variety by variety, in stainless steel vats. 40: a high proportion of 40% reserve wines, equally divided between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, ensure the fine complexity and voluptuousness of the Brut Réserve. 10: is the reserve wines average age, extraordinary for Champagne. Sourced from the best crus produced in the greatest years, the wines placed in reserve are kept for between 5 and 15 years in stainless steel tanks if not more. This maturing time is essential for their refinement and for the development of their aromatic range.
Colour: |
A deep golden hue. Delicate vivacious and long-lasting bubbles are the result of a long and slow maturing process in chalk crayères*. |
Nose: |
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. |
Taste: |
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. |
