Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve NV
£50.75
The wine
Charles Heidsieck's Brut Réserve is one of the most admired non-vintage Champagnes of all, a rich, mature blend built on a high proportion of reserve wines aged deep in the house's ancient chalk cellars.
Deep gold in the glass, it offers baked apple, brioche, toasted nuts and honey over a fine, creamy mousse, finishing long, complex and beautifully balanced. Champagne of real depth and generosity.
Serve well chilled, as an aperitif or with roast poultry, richer fish and soft cheese.
The producer
Charles Heidsieck
View all Charles Heidsieck winesCharles Heidsieck is one of Champagne's most revered houses, founded in 1851 by the charismatic Champagne Charlie who first brought the region's wines to America. Today it is celebrated above all for the depth and maturity of its Champagnes, built on a treasure of reserve wines aged in ancient Gallo-Roman chalk cellars beneath Reims. Few houses have such a distinctive signature.
That signature is richness and generosity, a mature, biscuity depth that sets the wines apart from the crowd. From the benchmark Brut Réserve to an elegant Blanc de Blancs and a gastronomic rosé, each is unmistakably Charles Heidsieck.
Complex, mature and beautifully made, these are Champagnes for lovers of real substance. They reward the table as much as the toast, and drinkers who prize depth over mere freshness.
Serve well chilled, as an aperitif or with richer dishes, and toast in real style.
