Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve

Champagne, France

HIGH PRECISION ROSÉ WINE. The Rosé Réserve takes its inspiration from the Brut Réserve blend, enhanced with great red Champagne wines that strengthen its generous, sharp identity and its delicately fruity mouthfeel. To achieve this ideal balance between freshness and structure, the Cellar Master selects reserve wines that are intentionally less aged than those used for the Brut Réserve.

Tasting Notes

EYE: Sophisticated powdery pink robe with luminous glints of wild rose. Delicate, vivacious bubbles are the result of extensive ageing in cellars.

NOSE: The proportion of reserve wines, white and red, give this rosé blend a subtle, yet complex nose. The initial fragrances recall home-made strawberry jam fresh from the stove, mixed with the fruitiness of vineyard peach, followed by luscious warm notes of gingerbread laced with a touch of cinnamon.

PALATE: The pronounced powerful mouthfeel offers a burst of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry nestled in velvety whipped cream.

This wine's structure and exquisite balance make it the perfect choice for an aperitif. Its versatility marries easily with the usual canapés as well as with simple dishes such as sushi, tapas, cold cuts, to name just a few.

FROM THE LAND: Bresaola carpaccio, Bologna mortadella, Iberian pork filet mignon
FROM THE SEA: Grilled prawns and lomo, Red mullet fillets marinated with pink berries, Salmon sashimi
CHEESES: Part-aged Dutch ‘Mimolette’ cheese, Burrata

A discerning blend of around 40 crus and a rigorous selection of juices drawn exclusively from the first press. Reserve wines of up to 35%, with an average age of 5 years. Long ageing of 3 to 4 years on lees, much longer than the norms of the region.

THE GRAPE SELECTION IN THIS ROSÉ reflects the diversity of the Champagne terroir. As Charles-Camille Heidsieck did in his time, the House strives first and foremost to highlight the typicality of each cru, its potential for expression and the palette of its nuances year after year. This variety offers a very subtle balance with some crus providing fruity notes while others bring an impression of strength, and still others a great refinement. 5% of red wines from Les Riceys, a Côte des Bargem and the largest terroir in all Champagne.

BLEND: 40% Pinot Noir (including 5% of red wines), 35% Chardonnay and 25% Meunier
VINIFICATION: cru by cru, varietal by varietal, in stainless steel vats 5 to 10% of wine vinified in old Burgundy oak barrels
DOSAGE: appropriate, 9 g/l
CELLARING: drink from now until 2030

    "Toasty on the nose, with rich hints of brioche, pastry cream and ground coffee following on the palate. Plush and creamy in texture, this is brightened by finely meshed acidity and a range of crushed plum, raspberry, lime peel and candied ginger notes. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier."

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, September 2025

    "Based on the 2019 vintage and complemented by 25% reserve wines, with a 5% still red wine from Les Riceys in the Aube, Charles Heidsieck’s NV Rosé Réserve was disgorged in 2023 with a dosage of eight grams per liter. It opens from the glass with aromas of orange marmalade, melon, peach and candied pear with a hint of bergamot. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and muscular, ample and textural, with a generous fruit core, succulent yet lively acidity, a pillowy mousse and an attractively perfumed finish. The blend comprises 40% Pinot Noir, 25% Pinot Meunier and 35% Chardonnay."

Drink or hold."

    "A blend of 40% Pinot Noir (5% of which is red wine from the village of Les Riceys), 35% Chardonnay, and the rest Meunier, the NV Champagne Reserve Brut Rosé pours a medium salmon/pink color. The nose is layered, fruity, and inviting, with aromas of crushed strawberries, fresh baked croissant, marzipan, and floral perfume. This carries to the palate, which is balanced with a round and chalky mouthfeel, a spritely mousse, and notes of grapefruit citrus through the finish. It offers a wide drinking window for enjoying now or over the coming 7-8 years. "

    "Like many Charles Heidsieck Champagnes, this bottling has a fine poise between freshness and maturity. Coming through the yeasty aroma are rich white fruit and textured, toasty flavors. It is full and now ready to drink."

    Wine Advocate, October 2024

    "Aromas of strawberries, white peach, baked bread, red berries and gingerbread introduce the NV Rosé Réserve, a medium to full-bodied, enrobing and round Champagne with a satiny attack, a fleshy and vinous mid-palate framed by lively acids and a mouthwatering, strawberries-inflected finish. This is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir (including 5% as red wine sourced from Les Riceys), 35% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Meunier with a dosage of eight grams per liter."

    "An elegant version, with the fine, airy mousse tempering the impact of the chiseled acidity and together creating a fine frame for notes of roasted pistachio, baked yellow peach and candied pink grapefruit peel. Everything is underscored by a streak of salinity that pushes through on the finish, joining accents of white blossoms, ground ginger and anise. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now through 2029."
