The Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve (12% vol.) in a 0.75 l bottle is one of the most renowned non-vintage Champagnes from the Champagne region and embodies the exceptional signature style of the House of Champagne Charles Heidsieck. The story begins in 1851, when Charles Heidsieck, aged just 29, decided to found his own maison, thereby forging an independent path within one of France’s most prominent Champagne families. To this day, the house stands for uncompromising quality, exceptional maturity and unmistakable complexity.


Around 60 different crus are selected for the production of this iconic cuvée. Particularly influential are the Grand Cru vineyards of Oger, which lend the Chardonnay richness and generosity; Ambonnay, which provides the structure and fruitiness of the Pinot Noir; and Verneuil, whose Meunier ensures balance and smoothness. The blend consists of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Meunier. A distinctive feature of the house is the exceptionally high proportion of around 50% reserve wines, which lend the champagne depth and continuity. A small proportion of the wines is also aged in old Burgundian oak barrels. The long ageing process in the historic chalk cellars ensures the characteristic complexity that makes Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve one of the most award-winning champagnes in its category worldwide.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve displays a deep golden colour with a particularly fine, elegant and long-lasting perlage. On the nose, it reveals aromas of freshly baked brioche, delicate toasted notes and ripe fruits such as mango, apricot and mirabelle plum. These are complemented by notes of dried fruit, pistachios and almonds. On the palate, it reveals a creamy and complex structure with hints of plums, cherries and nougat. The finish reveals elegant nuances of vanilla, amber and delicate praline, and is exceptionally long-lasting.



The Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve pairs superbly with lobster, scallops, oysters and fine fish dishes. This French champagne is also an excellent match for veal, poultry, truffle dishes or mature hard cheeses. As an aperitif, it impresses with its complexity and elegance, whilst its depth also makes it an excellent accompaniment to sophisticated menus. Served at a temperature of 8–10 °C, this premium champagne reveals its full aromatic range to the full.
