Charles Heidsieck - The champagne of gentleman Charlie

The Maison Charles Heidsieck is named after its founder, a wine merchant famous for making Champagne popular in the United States, where he earned the nickname "Champagne Charlie" , as well as being involved in a diplomatic incident due to his arrest. during the American Civil War.

Legend has it that, sentenced to death, Charles expressed his last wish to share a glass of Champagne with his performers, who would have given up executing the sentence, conquered by the gesture and quality of his wine.

The Champagne of the Maison Charles Heidsieck fully embodies the soul of its founder: a visionary and innovative gentleman , lover of beauty and timeless elegance , whose ambition was the driving force behind the bold choices that contributed to define the style which distinguishes these refined cuvées.

p> A round, creamy, fresh, harmonious style that of the Brut Réserve (93 pt Wine Spectator) becomes more complex in the Millesimata version (93 pt) , which always comes from a skilful balance between the Chardonnay , Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes coming from the best crus in the region, which takes on greater richness and uniqueness than other champagnes due to the use of a high proportion of reserve wines and a longer than average maturation that takes place in the Maison's characteristic chalk crayeres (caves) , located at 20 m depth.

But the absolute top of the range is represented by the Cuvée de Prestige Blanc des Millénaires (95 pt) : a legendary Blanc de Blanc produced by an ultra-meticulous selection of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, made up of 4 Grands Crus et 1 Premier Cru, of a unique complexity that only 15 years of aging can confer.
