Considering the fact that champagne has been the drink of choice for royalty, nobility and other important and high-class members of society for many years, it’s really no wonder that it enjoys such an unrivalled reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most famous and renowned of all champagnes is Charles Heidsieck Brut, a premium wine with a rich and celebrated history.

Heidsieck was the son of a highly regarded champagne merchant who had famously ridden into Moscow with crates of champagne ahead of Napoleon’s army in 1811, in order to ensure that he was ready to celebrate with whichever side happened to win the looming conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, not to be outdone by his famous father, Heidsick himself also lived a rich and extraordinary life, and is credited with popularising champagne in the United States, where he was a regular figure of New York high-society and was affectionately known as the original ‘Champagne Charlie’. During the American Civil War, he was detained under suspicion of being a French and Confederate spy; but, after his release, he managed to restore his wealth and reputation, ultimately re-establishing his champagne house as one of the most influential and highly regarded in all the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the many decades which have followed, the strength and success of the Heidsieck house has endured and grown – and to this day, the unique flavours and characteristics of Charles Heidsieck champagne are highly sought after and regarded the world over, such that Heidsieck is now not only one of the most admired and prestigious houses in the Champagne region of France, but also one of the most celebrated and awarded wine producers anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy Charles Heidsieck Champagne Online\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the consistently superior nature of the wines it produces, the Charles Heidsieck brand is virtually unrivalled when it comes to prestige and reputation. All non-vintage champagne is aged for at least three years in a cool, chalk cellar, guaranteeing a balanced and graceful ageing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf like many people, you’re presuming that such superior quality is bound to come at a hefty price, you’ll be glad to hear that this doesn’t actually have to be the case. Whilst fine wines can, of course, be costly; the important thing is knowing the best places to shop and making informed purchasing decisions with the help of expert advice and guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, when it comes to \u003cstrong\u003eCharles Heidsieck Brut Reserve, price\u003c\/strong\u003e really doesn’t have to be a limiting factor.

- Over 60 wines go into making this with 5-6 years average aging
- Excellent with richer foods and really pimps out a party
If you are beginning your champagne journey or you simply want to experience an excellent example of a Brut champagne, try this.
Fresh grapefruit and yellow peach with some banana bread and spice. This is all about decadence and layers of flavour and complexity.
Expect rich, ample flavours that leads to a round and generous palate with juicy acidity that lead to a moreish experience.
About The House
What makes Charles Heidsieck such an excellent house? Well there are many avenue we can discuss, however, let's will focus on their unashamed pursuit of quality through long cellar ageing, a back catalogue of reserve wines in Solera and a multitude of vineyard sites to select across. They produce some 800,000 bottles a year, which is small on the grand scheme of champagne production. The Chef de Cave is Cyril Brun who has done a sterling job of crafting some extraordinary wines with finesse, power and maturity.
According to our friend and colleague Tyson Stelzer, "The new Charles Heidsieck is built on deep, autumnal complexity, juxtaposed with vibrant energy and astonishing poise. Its cuvées have never looked finer." Tyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2018-2019
Let's not forget they own 1 of the 5 UNESCO World Heritage listed Gallo-Roman cellars that are impressive as they are a prominent part of history.
Technical Details
Being an equal one-third of each variety and a blend of around 60 different vineyard parcels, this has 60% base wine from 2012 aged between 4-6 years and 40% reserve wines which is a 50-50 mix of pinot noir & chardonnay where the average age is 7-10 years. Dosage is slightly higher than most houses at just over 11 g/L.
Food Pairings
Charles Heidsieck has a strong suggestion of stone fruits, peach, apricot and such. A while ago the team came across a dish made by a reputable Melbourne chef, which is roast pork belly with quince aioli. This pairing would tie beautifully with the brut reserve.
