Description
A complex and generous Rosé Champagne
The estate
An essential reference, the Champagne Charles Heidsieck House preserves a prestigious heritage with chalk cellars dating back two millennia. A pioneer, Charles Heidsieck stood out as early as the late 1980s by highlighting the exceptional aromatic evolution of its multi-vintage Brut champagne. In 1987, Charles Heidsieck thus became the first Champagne house to indicate the “cellaring date” to track the wine’s evolution over time.
The vineyard
The Heidsieck House owns approximately 60 hectares of vineyards in the Marne and Aube. These vineyards are certified for sustainable viticulture as well as High Environmental Value certification. In addition to its own vineyard and following the Champagne model, Charles Heidsieck supplements its needs through long-term supply contracts with rigorously selected growers and cooperatives in Champagne.
The wine
The Rosé Réserve by Charles Heidsieck is crafted from a rigorous selection of 50 crus among the finest terroirs of Champagne.
Winemaking and aging
Parcel vinification is carried out by cru and by grape variety. Complexity, precision, and generosity are the three key words that define the identity of Charles Heidsieck’s Rosé Réserve champagne, patiently aged for three years in the house’s chalk cellars.
Blending
The Rosé Réserve is the result of a blend of pinot noir, pinot meunier, chardonnay, and 20% reserve wines with an average age of 5 years. This exceptional champagne also includes 5 to 6% of great red wines in the blend, lending a generous character and beautiful tannic structure.
