Why You'll Love It
One of Champagne's rarest prestige blends, marrying remarkable reserve-wine maturity with the lift of younger fruit. Apricot, exotic citrus and toasted pastry unfold across a silky, precise palate. A genuinely special bottle with the length and complexity to be a centrepiece at dinner.
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
Champagne Charlie Cellared in 2017 is a multi-vintage prestige blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir, not a single-vintage 2017 Champagne. Around 80% is matured reserve wine, some aged for up to 25 years, with the remaining 20% from the 2016 harvest. The blend was laid down in 2017, disgorged in October 2021 and finished with a 7 g/L dosage. The published release specifies 12% ABV.
