Charles Heidsieck Reserve

"This is a Champagne that looks so perfect in the glass that you know it's going to blow you away, and it does," says Champagne expert Tom Stevenson about Charles Heidsieck's rosé Champagne. We have little to add to that. This stylish Champagne from the legendary house of Charles Heidsieck is simply one of the finest rosés available.

Charles's secret is using a substantial portion of reserve wines, sourced from the best plots and vintages, aged in barrels for between five and fifteen years. For Charles Heidsieck's Rosé Réserve Brut, chef de cave Cyril Brun chooses a 20% blend of exclusively Chardonnay and Pinor Noir. This ratio of young and reserve wines ensures an optimal balance between fresh, youthful fruit and beautiful aging notes.



The entire blend for the Rosé consists of roughly equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier. Six percent of the Pinot Noir is red wine, giving the Rosé its subtle orange-pink color. This wine comes from some of the finest Pinot crus, namely Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Les Riceys, and gives the Champagne an extra generous character.

Only after maturing for at least three years in the centuries-old, limestone-hewn cellars of Reims is Champagne disgorged (separated from the yeast) and bottled. This creates an exceptionally delicate mousse. Enjoy this enchanting Rosé young or mature, and preferably on its own. This wine deserves all the attention it deserves!

Drink or store?

While most non-vintage Champagnes are best enjoyed young, a Champagne of this caliber can also perfectly age in the bottle for several more years. Depending on your preference for a young, fresh or more mature Champagne, you can drink the Brut Rosé immediately or keep it for up to 5-6 years. Because a non-vintage Champagne cannot specify the vintage year, Heidsieck has devised a particularly clever solution. On the back label of the bottle, the house includes both the "mise en crayères" (drying) date and the "dégorgement" (degorging date). The former indicates when the Champagne went into the cellar to mature on its lees, while the latter indicates when the yeasts were removed from the bottle and the Champagne was finally bottled. This way, you not only know how long the Champagne has matured at the estate, but also how long you can still keep it yourself!
