Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve Special Edition

Champagne, France

This unique special edition of our signature Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve refreshes the palate with an elegant texture and complexity. This is achieved thanks to a generous composition of up to 50% matured reserve wines, a prolonged ageing of 36 months in our cellars and a dosage of 7gr/L.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: The first nose offers light, airy brioche aromas that quickly evolve to more iodized mineral notes and floral honeysuckle aromatics. After aeration, the wine reveals perfectly ripe yellow fruits reminiscent of apricot or white peaches.

PALATE: The attack is lively and mineral, with a dark, graphite-like minerality. A beautifully structured power follows with dark notes of cocoa and plum on the mid-palate. The finish is remarkably long with a vibrant citrus-driven freshness.
