The Champagne Brut Reserve di Charles Heidsieck is obtained from Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Nero grapes coming from 60 estate crus and vinified in stainless steel tanks for each individual cru. This fantastic sparkling wine is the result of a unique blend that includes the addition of a 40% proportion of "reserve wines" from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay - in this case, referring to the ten previous vintages - selected to enrich the wine's character and aromatic complexity. Following the rules of the Champenoise method, the wine underwent a second fermentation in the bottle with a minimum aging on lees of 36 months.

CHAMPAGNE BRUT RESERVE CHARLES HEIDSIECK: TASTING

The Champagne Brut Reserve di Charles Heidsieck presents itself in the glass with a golden yellow color enlivened by a fine perlage. On the nose, aromas of apricot and ripe yellow flesh fruit with exotic shades emerge, combining with hints of toasted nuts and warm brioche notes. The palate is soft and velvety, supported by a pleasant mineral freshness that invites for another sip. Excellent as an all-meal wine, it pairs well with cured meats, semi-aged and aged cheeses, vegetarian dishes, but especially with seafood first and second courses based on white fish, shellfish, and crustaceans.
