Charles Heidseick Rose Reserve
Introduction
This distinguished Champagne is crafted by the historic House of Charles Heidsieck in Reims, founded in 1851 by the legendary Charles-Camille Heidsieckâknown famously as "Champagne Charlie." The winery is celebrated for its uncompromising commitment to quality and its vast collection of reserve wines, housed in thousand-year-old Gallo-Roman chalk cellars (CrayĂšres). The RosĂ© RĂ©serve is a masterful blend that mirrors the complexity of the House's flagship Brut RĂ©serve, but with the addition of high-quality red wines from the prestigious Pinot Noir terroirs of Les Riceys. This cuvĂ©e highlights the Houseâs philosophy of "Complexity, Precision, and Generosity," achieved through significantly longer aging than the region's standards.
Wine Description
Charles Heidsieck RosĂ© RĂ©serve displays a sophisticated powdery pink robe with luminous glints of wild rose and a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is highly aromatic and nuanced, opening with fragrances of home-made strawberry jam and vineyard peach, which gradually evolve into warm, velvety notes of gingerbread, cinnamon, and honey. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet elegant, offering a burst of red forest fruitsâraspberry, strawberry, and blackberryânestled in a creamy, "velvety whipped cream" texture. It is characterized by a bright seam of acidity and a savory, mineral finish with a hint of smoky spice. This blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, and 25% Meunier includes a high proportion of reserve wines (up to 35%) and has an ABV of 12%. It was aged for over 48 months on the lees in the chalk cellars and finished with a dosage of approximately 9â11g/L. The wine is ready to drink now but will continue to gain aromatic finesse through 2030.
