Charles Heidsieck Rosé Reserve

Caratteristiche

A complex and generous Rosé champagne

The property

Unmissable reference, the Champagne house Charles Heidsieck preserves a prestigious heritage with two millenary gypsum quarries. Pioneer, Charles Heidsieck distinguished himself in the late 1980s by highlighting the exceptional aromatic evolution of his millennial Brut Champagne. In 1987, Charles Heidsieck was the first Champagne house to indicate the year of ” mise en cave ” to follow the evolution of wine over time.

The vineyard

Champagne house Charles Heidsieck owns a vineyard of around 60 hectares in the Marne and Aube regions. This vineyard has been certified as a sustainable viticulture site and has obtained the high environmental value certification. In addition to his own vineyard and following the Champagne model, Charles Heidsieck completes his needs with long-term supply contracts with strictly selected winemakers and cooperatives in Champagne.

The wine

Charles Heidsieck’s Rosé Réserve comes from a rigorous selection of 50 vintages from the greatest terroirs of the Champagne region.

Vinification and aging

The vinification is carried out by parcel and by vine. Complexity, precision and generosity are the three key terms that define the identity of Charles Heidsieck’s Rosé Réserve champagne, which is patiently aged for three years in the maison’s gypsum quarries.

Assembly

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 5-6% of great red wines in the blend, resulting in a generous wine with a nice tannic structure.
