Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve 12 % is the flagship cuvée of the long-established Champagne house Charles Heidsieck and brings together an exceptionally wide selection of around 60 Crus from the Champagne region. The blend consists of 40 per cent Pinot Noir, 40 per cent Chardonnay and 20 per cent Meunier. Three origins in particular shape its characteristic style: Oger, a Grand Cru from the Côte des Blancs, contributes a generous Chardonnay character; Ambonnay, a Grand Cru from the Montagne de Reims, provides power and structure with its Pinot Noir; whilst Verneuil from the Vallée de la Marne ensures balance and a smooth texture with its Meunier. Presented in a 0.75-litre bottle with a gift box, this complex Champagne Brut Réserve also makes an excellent high-quality gift.


During vinification, the individual crus and grape varieties are processed separately in stainless-steel tanks. In addition, 5–10 per cent of the wines are vinified in used Burgundian oak barrels. The 50 per cent reserve wines play a key role in the house’s characteristic style, contributing additional maturity, smoothness and aromatic complexity. A slow and prolonged ageing process in the historic chalk cellars further contributes to the refined development of this Champagne. The Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve thus combines a meticulous blending process, an exceptionally high proportion of reserve wines and traditional Champagne-making expertise to create a sophisticated, multi-layered cuvée.
