Description:
IT IS WITH BRUT RÉSERVE that the House has expresses the quintessence of its style. Particularly recognisable, this cuvée is the fruit of a unique blend that can be summarised with one equation: 60/40/10.
The number of crus gone into a blend that is precise, stringent and tailor-made. The wines produced that year, a third for each varietal (Meunier, Chardonnay and Pimot Noir:, are vinified cru by cru, varietal by varietcal, in stainledd steel vats.
A high proportion of 40% reserve wines, equally divided between Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, to ensure the fine complexity and indulgence of the Brut Reserve.
The average age of the reserve wines, an exception in Champagne. Taken from the best crus from the best years, the wines placed in reserve are kept in vats for between 5 and 15 years, if not more, to develop finesse and their aromatic range.

Charles Heidsieck
Charles Heidsieck, founded in 1851, is recognised as the producer of some of the Champagne region's most exceptional and sought-after wines. Under the oenological direction of highly-awarded Director of Winemaking for Piper-Heidsieck and Charles Heidsieck, Regis Camus - and Charles Heidsieck Chef de Caves, Cyril Brun - the Charles Heidsieck champagnes have developed an enviable reputation for quality amongst champagne connoisseurs around the world.
Charles Heidsieck is a champagne recognised most often by the profession. The awards are of course bestowed on the winemakers who have been named Sparkling Winemaker of the Year twelve times in just eighteen years. It is only logical that, in parallel to their work, the champagnes themselves have received 11 Grand Gold Medals, 101 Gold medals (37 between 2008 and 2011), 25 Silver medals and not less than 32 trophies. This eminent list of medals has honoured both the prestigious "Blanc des Millenaires", which received 98/100 from Gilbert and Gaillard in 2010 as well as the emblematic Brut Reserve, crowned "Wine of the Year" by Bettane and Desseauve in 2012.
