Why You'll Love It
A generous take on Blanc de Blancs, balancing Chardonnay's precise citrus and mineral tension with the creaminess that makes Charles Heidsieck so distinctive. Reserve wines and lengthy chalk-cellar ageing add depth without sacrificing energy. Brilliant with oysters or fine seafood.
About The Producer
Founded in Reims in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the original 'Champagne Charlie', Charles Heidsieck is one of Champagne's smallest and most respected Grandes Marques. Charles built the house on an unusual combination of adventurous ambition, close relationships with growers and patient blending. Its extraordinary Roman-era chalk cellars, the crayères beneath Reims, provide ideal conditions for extended bottle ageing. The house is particularly admired for the depth of its reserve-wine library and the generous, beautifully textured style these mature wines bring to the blends. Alongside its distinguished Brut Réserve, Charles Heidsieck makes exceptional vintage Champagne, Chardonnay-focused Blanc de Blancs and the rare, ambitious Champagne Charlie. It is a benchmark for what time, thoughtful selection and skilled blending can achieve.
Winemaking Information
The non-vintage Blanc de Blancs is entirely Chardonnay sourced from carefully selected Champagne crus, including Oger, Vertus and Montgueux. Base wines are fermented predominantly in stainless steel, with a small fraction in older oak, and undergo malolactic fermentation. Around 25% reserve wine, averaging five to six years old, contributes texture; the blend matures for roughly 36–48 months in the house's chalk cellars. Published dosage for the current release is around 10 g/L, although details may vary by disgorgement.
