Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve 12% ABV, 0.75 l, in a gift box online kaufen

Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve 12 % is the flagship cuvée of the long-established Champagne house Charles Heidsieck and brings together an exceptionally wide selection of around 60 Crus from the Champagne region. The blend consists of 40 per cent Pinot Noir, 40 per cent Chardonnay and 20 per cent Meunier. Three appellations in particular shape its distinctive style: Oger, a Grand Cru from the Côte des Blancs, contributes a generous Chardonnay character; Ambonnay, a Grand Cru from the Montagne de Reims, provides power and structure with its Pinot Noir; whilst Verneuil from the Vallée de la Marne ensures balance and a smooth texture with its Meunier. Presented in a 0.75-litre bottle with a gift box, this is a complex Champagne Brut Réserve that also makes an excellent high-quality gift.


During vinification, the individual crus and grape varieties are processed separately in stainless-steel tanks. In addition, 5–10 per cent of the wines are vinified in used Burgundian oak barrels. The 50 per cent reserve wines play a key role in the house’s characteristic style, contributing additional maturity, smoothness and aromatic complexity. A slow and lengthy ageing process in the historic chalk cellars further contributes to the refined development of this Champagne. The Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve thus combines a meticulous blend, an exceptionally high proportion of reserve wines and traditional Champagne-making craftsmanship to create a sophisticated, multi-layered cuvée.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve displays a deep golden hue with a fine, harmonious and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals freshly baked brioche and delicate toasted aromas alongside ripe notes of mango, apricot and mirabelle plum, as well as pistachios, almonds and other dried fruits. On the palate, it is supple yet structured, with a creamy, nougat-like texture and juicy hints of plums and cherries. The finish is elegant and complex, with nuances of vanilla, praline and delicate amber-like notes of maturity.

The Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve is ideal as a sophisticated aperitif, yet its structure and high proportion of reserve wines also give it sufficient body to accompany a meal. It pairs particularly well with scallops, pan-fried fish, poultry with a creamy sauce or mushroom dishes; mature Comté is also an excellent pairing. Served well chilled at around 8–10 °C, this champagne, presented in a gift box, is particularly well-suited to festive meals, anniversaries and other special occasions.
