Founded in 1851 and based in REIMS, the Champagne House of Charles HEISIECK was acquired in 2011 (at the same time as Piper Heidsieck) by the DESCOURS family, but with a different ambition: to "boost" this brand, which had been more associated with fine gastronomy. The vineyard covers around sixty hectares spread across the Marne and the Aube, and Charles Heidsieck also sources grapes through purchases. The current cellar master is Cyril Brun (transferred from Veuve Clicquot), and the bet has paid off, as Charles Heidsieck fully deserves to be considered one of the most brilliant brands today.
It owes this status to the superb definition of each of its Champagnes as well as to the smooth, melting and suave roundness that is so characteristic of the "Charles Heidsieck style." The style is not based on power, tension or minerality, but rather on breed and elegance, as well as a fine consistency. The Champagnes are Chardonnay-dominant, and the range is reliable and well-established. The Brut Réserve Champagne expresses a great roundness on toasted notes, with body on the palate and a vinous style, supported by a significant proportion of reserve wines. The Rosé Champagne is of exquisite refinement, accompanied by very fine bubbles, and a very long finish with remarkable aromatic persistence. The Blanc des Millénaires cuvée 1995 (Chardonnay only) unfolds a taffeta-like finesse, while having now shifted into a register that is both evolving and complex, whose length and aromatic subtlety remain unique. The 2004 vintage has just succeeded it. It should be noted that in 2018, the Maison Charles HEIDSIECK relaunched a new Blancs de Blancs cuvée. All these wines make for great Champagnes for the table, with production remaining limited, to the delight of enthusiasts.
