Charles Heidsieck Champagne Brut Rose Reserve Champagne Blend 750ml

Description

A sophisticated powdery pink hue with luminous glints of wild rose. Delicate, vivacious bubbles are the result of an aging period of over 36 months. A base of 20% of reserve wines, white and red, gives this rose9 blend a subtle, yet complex nose. The first fragrances are reminiscent of traditional, home-made strawberry jam mixed with the fruitiness of orchard peaches. Then follows the warm luscious notes of gingerbread with a touch of cinnamon. The deep tantalizing and powerful mouthfeel - the result of aging in two thousand year old cellars - offers a burst of strawberry, raspberry and blackberry nestled in velvety whipped cream.

Producer Description

In 1851, young Charles Heidsieck founded his own Champagne house in Reims. He understood that the United States was an important emerging market, so he traversed America repeatedly north to south promoting his new brand. The stylish entrepreneur became known lovingly as "Champagne Charlie."Charles Heidsieck Champagne is distinguished by the high proportion of reserve wines in the Brut Re9serve. 40% of the blend is comprised of reserve wines averaging 10 years old, giving the wine uncommon depth and complexity. In addition to the non-vintage Brut Re9serve and Rose9 Re9serve, the winery produces a Vintage Brut, Vintage Rose9 and the prestige cuve9e Blanc des Millenaires.Only 60 crus from Champagne are blended to create Charles Heidsieck Champagnes, but the three stylistic pillars that give the Brut Re9serve its distinct character are Grand Cru Chardonnay from Oger in the Cf4te des Blancs, Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Ambonnay in the Montagne de Reims, and the distinct Pinot Meunier from Verneuil in the Valle9e de Marne.
