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.

- Pair with Oysters, Japanese Sashimi with Ginger, Yuzu and fresh flavours
Charles Heidsieck was one of the very first Champagne Houses to demonstrate its passion for Chardonnay by producing a Blanc de Blancs in its 1949 vintage. There is also evidence that the Maison had produced some mono-crus from the Côte des Blancs as early as 1906...
Through this cuvée, relaunched in 2018, two of the House’s areas of expertise come together: the production of great white wines and the art of blending a large selection of wines from different years and terroirs.
The considerable challenge is to make opposites coexist: the tautness and the freshness of young chardonnays on the one hand, and the silky “Charles” character on the other.
To the eye: pale, crystalline gold with the typical glints of chardonnay varietal.
On the nose: the aromas of mature chardonnay can be recognised initially: white peach, candied citrus with notes of lime, honeysuckle and fresh hazelnut, giving way to subtle hints of tangerine and lemon.
On the palate: freshness and tautness mark this typically Charles generosity: the attack is pure and forthright, not aggressive but almost unconventionally suave for a blanc de blancs. So often characterised as being sharp rather than creamy. The harmonious finish offers surprising minerality and salinity.
About The House
Gentleman and entrepreneur in the audacious 19th century, Charles Heidsieck was heir to a Champagne fortune, a rebel with an extraordinary thirst for adventure. At age 29, he founded a Champagne House in his image: authentic, distinguished and which stands out among all others. In keeping with this spirit, his grandson Charles-Marcel created a Blanc de Blancs, consolidating the style of a House that manifests itself across all varietals.
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.
