Charles Heidsieck

Do you know Charles Heidsieck? The man or the Champagne? What difference does it make, the two are inseparable!
– Heidsieck

Charles Heidsieck “Champagne Charlie” was a 19th century Champagne travelling merchant who was credited for making the sparkling beverage popular in the emerging United States and abroad. After conceiving his champagne house in Reims in 1851, his charisma, eloquence and entrepreneurship won over the palates of New York, the south, Louisiana and beyond. Today, the world-renowned Champagne house makes wines with the intent of elegance, balance, and a sense of captivation through complexity. They set themselves apart with their reserve wines (Brut and Rosé), which utilize wines that are about 10 years of age, which are blended with younger wines to make a distinctive and complex bubbly. They also produce a Vintage Brut, Vintage Rosé and the cuvée Blanc des Millenaires.

Tasting Notes

WA94
Charles Heidsieck`s 2006 Brut Rosé (with 10% Pinot Noir red wine) has been launched before the 2005. Disgorged at the end of 2014, the wine offers a delicate and intense wild strawberry flavor with some lovely spicy aromas on the nose. Ample, full and round, this is a lovely matured Rosé with a super intense and aromatic Pinot character (sweet cherries, red berries). The finish underlines the great complexity, purity and finesse of this vinous Rosé. There are cherry aromas again in the long aftertaste. An impressive Rosé.

A pale hue in the glass, this has a savory nose that delivers a very nicely struck toasty edge with chalky pastry and faint red fruits. The palate's sophisticated fine texture is mesmerizing. This really dances, leaving a trail of red berry fruits in…
